    Moonshine, marijuana, and meth in a multigenerational tale of betrayal, brothers, and bloodshed. BULL MOUNTAIN ain't no Walton's Mountain!

    Libby Manthey, Riverwalk Books (Chelan, WA)

    BULL MOUNTAIN, by Brian Panowich, is a stunning crime fiction debut, a hillbilly noir that has its roots embedded firmly in the soil of Elmore Leonard and Daniel Woodrell. Three generations of illegal substance suppliers -- moonshine, marijuana, and meth -- discover that you cannot run from the sins of your fathers and grandfathers, that everyone must pay for the crimes of their past, and that the world just isn't a kind place. The dialogue is fast and snappy, urging the reader to continue late into the night, and the way the book is structured in fragmentary pieces out of time and remembrances recalls Marcel Proust...a Proust who is prone to moments of vividly realized violence. Every scene is necessary, and the twists, especially toward the terrifying ending, come fast and furious. What a remarkable debut!

    Bill Carl, Booksellers on Fountain Square (Cincinnati, OH)
