About the Book

Bull Mountain

From a remarkable new voice in Southern fiction, a multigenerational saga of crime, family and vengeance.
 
Clayton Burroughs comes from a long line of outlaws. For generations, the Burroughs clan has made its home on Bull Mountain in North Georgia, running shine, pot and meth over six state lines, virtually untouched by the rule of law. To distance himself from his family’s criminal empire, Clayton took the job of sheriff in a neighboring community to keep what peace he can. But when a federal agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms shows up at Clayton’s office with a plan to shut down the mountain, his hidden agenda will pit brother against brother, test loyalties and could lead Clayton down a path to self-destruction.  

In a sweeping narrative spanning decades and told from alternating points of view, the novel brilliantly evokes the atmosphere of the mountain and its inhabitants: forbidding, loyal, gritty and ruthless. A story of family --- the lengths men will go to protect it, honor it or in some cases destroy it --- BULL MOUNTAIN is an incredibly assured debut that heralds a major new talent in fiction.
