![]() ![]() Larry, a mechanic, lives a solitary existence, never able to rise above the whispers of suspicion. His friendship with Larry was broken, and then Silas left town. The incident shook the county-and perhaps Silas most of all. She was never found and Larry never confessed, but all eyes rested on him as the culprit. But then tragedy struck: Larry took a girl on a date to a drive-in movie, and she was never heard from again. Yet for a few months the boys stepped outside of their circumstances and shared a special bond. Their worlds were as different as night and day: Larry, the child of lower-middle-class white parents, and Silas, the son of a poor, single black mother. ![]() In the late 1970s, Larry Ott and Silas "32" Jones were boyhood pals. Edgar Award-winning author Tom Franklin returns with his most accomplished and resonant novel so far-an atmospheric drama set in rural Mississippi. ![]()
