Con artists, drug addicts, and partners-in-crime Grant and Jasmine create new aliases (Jack Jordan and Summer Ashton) before they flee from South Carolina to Lufkin, TX, carrying with them a hollowed-out King James Bible full of cocaine and plenty of emotional baggage. Unfortunately, a local drug dealer has already claimed the territory where the couple plan to sell their coke. But with Summer's help, Jack emerges a victor in the drug war. Unintentionally, Summer loses her mind, overdoses, and is sent to a rehab center, Miracle Ranch, considered by many to be a cult organization. Later, Jack joins Summer at the ranch and usurps power from the group's founder, while Summer sticks by Jack through thick and thin.
VERDICT A finalist for the Derringer Award, Pruitt (Dirtbags; Hashtag) delivers an excellent addition to the gritty Southern noir genre. Readers of Hunter S. Thompson and David Joy will enjoy the psychedelic twists and turns as well as the rapid-fire dialog.
