Review
Entertaining, fast-paced, and bristling with hidden menace. (KATE SAUNDERS THE TIMES)
a charming tale about growing up, and a vivid recreation of a world that no longer exists (SUSANNA YAGER SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
Part detective story, part horror chiller and part Huck Finn adventure yarn... vividly captures the atmosphere of an isolated, backwards little town. (NEW STATESMAN)
As always Joe Lansdale writes with a gentle reverence for the past and the present. I love his books and this is one of the very best. (MARK TIMLIN INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
Book Description
A classic coming-of-age murder mystery with corrupt cops, segregation, ice cream and missing lesbians
