Book by Jones Matthew F

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Breathtakingly good...With a supreme sense of place and marvellously drawn characters, especially Moon, there's that sense of destiny and despair that haunts the finest noir, including, of course, James M Cain's majestic The Postman Always Rings Twice. The comparison is entirely apt. (Daily Mail)

A backwoods drama that is part Crime and Punishment, part Deliverance, and all white-knuckled suspense...it packs a helluva punch (People)

A harrowing literary thriller...a powerful blend of love and violence, of the grotesque and the tender. (New York Times Book Review)

A terrific novel...you can hardly breathe while you're reading this book....his crisis evokes every palm-sweating, heart-stopping, seemingly undoable mistake you've ever made (Los Angeles Times)

A harrowing, high-voltage thriller...A gritty, claustrophobic blend of Jim Thompson and James Dickey. (Publishers Weekly)

Jones owns a fine writer's eye for the kind of details that matter. (Washington Post)

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mulholland Books presents... A SINGLE SHOT

Anyone's life can change in an instant. In Matthew F. Jones's acclaimed novel, one man's world is overturned with a single shot.

Trespassing on what was once his family's land, John Moon hears a rustle in the brush and fires. But instead of the deer he was expecting, he finds the body of a young woman, killed by his stray bullet. A terrible dilemma is made worse when he stumbles upon her campground - and the piles of drugs and money concealed there.

Moon makes his choice: he hides the corpse, and takes the cash. His decision will have consequences he can neither predict or control.
