About the Book

A stubborn teenager and her estranged uncle descend into the Arkansas underworld to track down her missing fiancé, in a riveting literary noir perfect for fans of Daniel Woodrell and Mare of Easttown. Up until now, 18-year-old Lily Stevens has always been the perfect daughter of a Pentecostal preacher, but her insular Arkansas congregation is scandalized when Lily announces she's pregnant with the baby of Peter Cutchin, a young man in the church. When Peter disappears before they can get married, Lily's life is thrown into even greater turmoil. Everyone in their small town, including Peter's furious mother, thinks the boy has simply run off and abandoned her, but Lily, furiously headstrong and determined to find the father of her child, refuses to believe it. Help comes in the unlikely form of Allan Woodson, an uncle that her family will not acknowledge but a man who may know where to begin looking for Peter. Their search will lead them out of Lily's safe world of the church and into the darkest corners of the criminal underworld on the Arkansas/Tennessee border, where neither Allan nor Lily can foresee the unsettling secrets they will uncover.

Review :
Praise for FIND HIM "Lean, evocative, and battle-hardened. Top-notch noir with knockout execution and style." -William Boyle, author of Shoot the Moonlight Out and City of Margins "(An) exceptional tale of crime and courage...Sharply delineated characters are matched by assured prose. This sensitive novel, a parable for today's harsh social conflicts, is not to be missed." ―Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "Hinkson manages the suspense well...the plot will keep the pages turning." ―Booklist Praise for the novels of Jake Hinkson "Set in rural Arkansas, this unapologetically bleak noir explores the effects of existential and spiritual despair in an economically depressed town where the influence of religious fundamentalism is stifling. Powered by raw emotional intensity and a disturbingly realistic portrayal of small-town America, this story is unforgettable." ―Publishers Weekly (starred review) on DRY COUNTRY Hinkson's darkly satirical take on power and hypocrisy closes with a shocking but fitting twist." ―Booklist on DRY COUNTRY "As the principals take turns plotting their next moves, things predictably spiral out of control with all the horrifyingly matter-of-fact force of Scott Smith's parable A Simple Plan as Hinkson leads his all-too-human hero step by step into a monstrous pool of corruption. The whole sad carnival comes crashing to an unforgettable halt." ―Kirkus Reviews One of the rare novels that actually deserves the over-used comparison to Jim Thompson. ―Los Angeles Review of Books on HELL ON CHURCH STREET Raw and violent and powerful. ―Mystery Scene on THE DEEPENING SHADE
