Devilwood

'A haunting, stunningly poetic journey into the darkness at the edge of town' - S.A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of King of Ashes

In the deep woods of Alabama, the trees of the Devilwood hide secrets too dark to name . . .

Looking for a gentler beat, veteran cop Wilbur Miller has been assigned to the Agricultural Crimes Unit, chasing down missing cows amidst rumours of a 'painter' - the mythical black panther said to scream through the night like a demon.

In his search, he stumbles upon a gruesome crime scene that drags him back decades prior to a time when a charismatic preacher passed through the community, sowing seeds of sin in his wake.

To unravel the truth behind this violent end, Miller must confront the ghosts of his own past ad the secrets buried deep in the Alabama mud.

A masterpiece of Southern Gothic noir, Devilwood is the newest novel from CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning author Tom Franklin. Haunting and atmospheric, this is an exploration of the dark forces that permeate, and the grace it takes to see the lightness in the world.
