Julia Keller is that rare talent who combines gripping suspense,
a fabulous sense of place and nuanced characters you can't wait
to come back to. A must read.
-- Karin Slaughter
A remarkably written and remarkably tense debut.
I loved it.
-- Dennis Lehane
Be careful opening this book because once you do you won't
be able to close it. Instead, clear the weekend, silence the phone
and settle into Acker's Gap, a place as fascinating and fraught
with violence and beauty as Daniel Woodrell's Ozarks or
William Gay's Tennessee. A killer novel.
--Tom Franklin
A terrific debut -- atmospheric, suspenseful, assured.
-- Laura Lippman
