In this poetic and haunting tale set in contemporary Appalachia, New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash illuminates lives shaped by violence and a powerful connection to the land.

Les, a long-time sheriff just three-weeks from retirement, contends with the ravages of crystal meth and his own duplicity in his small Appalachian town.

Becky, a park ranger with a harrowing past, finds solace amid the lyrical beauty of this patch of North Carolina.

Enduring the mistakes and tragedies that have indelibly marked them, they are drawn together by a reverence for the natural world. When an irascible elderly local is accused of poisoning a trout stream, Les and Becky are plunged into deep and dangerous waters, forced to navigate currents of disillusionment and betrayal that will force them to question themselves and test their tentative bond--and threaten to carry them over the edge.

Echoing the heartbreaking beauty of William Faulkner and the spiritual isolation of Carson McCullers, Above the Waterfall demonstrates once again the prodigious talent of "a gorgeous, brutal writer" (Richard Price) hailed as "one of the great American authors at work today" (Janet Maslin, New York Times).

Review:
"Rash, a 2009 PEN/Faulkner Award finalist, is one of our undisputed Appalachian laureates, in company with Robert Morgan, Lee Smith, Fred Chappell, and Mark Powell."--The Millions

"[Above the Waterfall is] as rich and moving as his best. If you like detective novels, the plot twists are dizzying enough to keep you guessing. Fan or not, you're going to find this one hard to put down."--Charleston Post & Courier

"[A]s beautiful as it is disturbing... In past works, Ron Rash has tried to conjure places for respite, for light, but even his authentic, affecting language hadn't yet been enough to uncover a permanent crack in the hard rock of his world. Now, maybe, just maybe, he has."--Anniston Star

"[A] breathtaking novel weaving violent pasts and uncertain futures."--Paste.com

"ABOVE THE WATERFALL may be [Ron Rash's] most powerful."--Winston-Salem Journal

"Enhanced by Rash's lyrical prose, this fascination with the land occasionally forces readers to pause and appreciate the beauty of Rash's language like they would a flower or a sunset."--Kansas City Star

"[T]here's no denying Rash's grasp of the North Carolina landscape and its reflection in the oft-tortured souls of its denizens, making this novel one of his most successful ventures into poetic humanism."--Publishers Weekly

"Rash is an enormously gifted storyteller... one of the few writers at work today with the insight, the talent and the vision to show us how sometimes, for all our sorry shortcomings, we're able to achieve a certain redemption through our capacity for kindness and decency."--Washington Post

"[T]hick with atmosphere, lyrical prose, and a visceral sense of place... Rash has crafted the finest prose of his career... another quiet, haunting ode to the natural beauty of the mountains."--BookPage

"Ron Rash is one author who gets a lot of recognition regionally but I firmly believe should be regarded as a national treasure."--Literary Hub
Book Description:
From New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash comes a haunting novel with the poetic quality of William Faulkner
