"THE SOPRANOS in Appalachia... rises at times to lyrical beauty." - author Mark Rubinstein

A small-time hood tries to escape the family business in this powerful story of crime and drug abuse in rural America.

The town of Sewardville, Kentucky teeters on the edge of a violent abyss, overrun with methamphetamine and prescription drug abuse. The Slone family controls everything. Patriarch Walt Slone is the town’s mayor and head of one of the largest crime syndicates in the eastern United States. His son metes out justice from behind his sheriff’s badge, while his daughter handles all the numbers for the family business.

Business for the Slones is good, too – at least until Walt orders his son-in-law Boone to kill his own brother. That becomes the first link in a chain of events that threatens not just the livelihood of all involved, but their lives as well. While the Slones move to strengthen their empire, Boone moves to break free and take his little daughter with him. Will he escape from one of America’s most heartbroken regions, or will his dark past bury him forever in the place they call Sewerville?

The Grit, The Grittier, and The Ugly

Recensito in Italia il 15 aprile 2014

Take the best elements of The Soprano's and Boardwalk Empire, and marinate in the mosquito filled atmosphere of the swampy south.

This compelling crime drama follows the exploits of the Slone family, who hold Sewardville in an iron grip. As the patriarchal Walt pushes his lackeys with an increasingly violent zeal, some begin to question the meaning of the life they lead... and then one refuses to go any further.

The action is slick and well described, and pace of this well written book sucks you in from the first page. I loved the character of Boone, and this gritty thriller kept me reading until late into the night.

The characterizations are spot on, and the rich cast will provide something for everyone.
Recommended.

Beautifully Dark and Brilliantly Twisted

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 20 agosto 2015

Acquisto verificato

First and foremost, I fell in love with the author's style and voice in this dark and twisted look at a small town that has long lost hope for better things. The rampant drug use is so common there is no real emotion attached to deaths coming from those caught in the clutches of meth and pills. This isn't much of a surprise when the mayor and sheriff, quite the father and son duo, are also the biggest pushers of illicit substances and activities. Boone, the main character, and son-in-law of the aforementioned mayor, is caught up in the age old battle between good and evil, right and wrong. He has been stuck so long, in such a dour setiing, that the lines between have long since been more than simply blurred. The price of getting the getting the girl he thought was the one of his dreams was much higher than he could ever imagined, but the daughter he shares with her is the one light in this dark tale.

Mr. Saylor does a brilliant job of using repition to tie parts of the story together, and amazing dark imagery to really bring the dark tale to life. This is not your over idealized small town that so many authors try to bring to life, but quite possibly a much more realistic (if campily over the top) view of too many of these towns that are caught in the struggles of our times.

Most of the characters do not have relatable personalities - while I saw complaints about this in other reviews, I embraced that as part of the brilliance of the writing style. These characters are not meant to be embraced and they are motivated by either greed or hopelessness. Neither is a warm and fuzzy way of life, so why would you expect warm and fuzzy feelings either from or about them? This isn't a romance, the characters are not supposed to have hearts of gold hidden under troubled exteriors. I found it completely enthralling and nearly impossible to put down. I have read some of the author's short stories, but will be anxiously awaiting the next full length novel of his.

I can understand that this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it for anyone looking for something darkly different. For mature audiences for violence, language, drug abuse and generally dark/adult themes.

Additional kudos for the use of music throughout - one of the best uses I have seen in recent memory to enhance the image of the characters. From the downright chilling use of Nazareth for Sheriff Sloane, to the poignant use of Merle Haggard for Boone and his brother Jimmy, to the relatable songs loading the jukebox in the bar, to the techno babbling at the party house, it was executed most excellently and served as a unique way to paint the scenes/characters.

A good read

A good plot but some of the characters, particularly Karen, Boone's wife, was very one-dimensional. She seemed to be a non-person compared to Boone, Walt & John. I enjoyed the storyline but there was something that I could not connect with in this book. Worth a read but not my favourite.

Bloody brilliant! Or blood and brilliance. Whichever you prefer.

There is something engrossing about a book that can transport readers to a different time, a different place. For me, this is not the book. There is something equally powerful about a book that can introduce readers to something new; a new people, a new land, a new culture. For me, this is not the book. Some readers will find the symbolic use of dreams, the mountain orchid, and repetition in the novel inspiration enough to call to their command every literary device and analytic approach they learned in their 9th grade English class. For me, this is not the book. For "furriners," mine is not a fair assessment. I am, to say the least, biased--blinded. Mine is an assessment for those who remember only one stop light, only one Dairy Queen, hard-to-pull Ale8s from the tops of vending machines (they were the coldest), turning around in the doctor's parking lot, an unfamiliarity with the terms "pill head" and "meth lab," and when the most shocking on-goings in town were the bootlegger (not so shocking in a dry county I suppose) and "smoke break." I am from Sewerville.

I was often distracted by the familiarity of the characters in the beginning to grasp the seriousness of what I was reading. It only took a few chuckles, and the realization of some not-so-subtle themes for me to shake off my nonchalant approach to the story. Before I knew it I found myself applauding the author for creating such a moving satire (is satire a fair label here?). He did not have to create this world, for it exists. What he did was capture the true essence of a world that time once ignored, but is now overlooked because of the sheer abundance of ignorance and poverty.

I used to miss home. I used to be sad because I was not there. This book only reminded me that I should be more sad for those I left behind. How crippling it is to know the town I remember with such fondness is as corrupt as the author portrays? It's easy to forget these things, until you find yourself feeling sorry for Boone. Perhaps I will read it again, next time over looking the familiars that overwhelm me, instead looking for the deeper analogy of what's wrong with small town America. It's definitely there! In the meantime, I choose to find comfort in knowing those I love can also remember when there was a thrill to the only two things in town--the flood and the county fair.
