This one'll be gritty. Gather 'round for a boisterous conversation between Matthew F. Jones, author of A Single Shot, and Brian Panowich, author of Nothing but the Bones, in celebration of Jones' newest release, A Reckoning Up Black Cat Hollow. PRAISE FOR A RECKONING UP CAT HOLLOW
“A blistering tale of the human condition filtered through a rural lens and sealed with the kind of gut punch that only Jones can deliver. A novel both thought provoking and smart, yet brutally tense and paced faster than a bullet. For everyone that didn’t already know, Matthew F. Jones is the true heir apparent to the kingdom of Cormac McCarthy. Yeah, he’s that fucking good.”
—Brian Panowich, author of Bull Mountain and Nothing But The Bones
“A Reckoning Up Black Cat Hollow is as fast-paced and unrelenting as any thriller you will find, but what makes Jones’s book so compelling is its psychological, at times metaphysical, journey into one man’s tormented soul. Reading the novel is like entering a clear mountain stream. You take a few steps and suddenly plunge into depths you’d not imagined. Matt Jones is an immensely talented writer, and this harrowing novel deserves a wide and appreciative audience.”
—Ron Rash, author of Serena and The World Made Straight

ABOUT THE BOOK
In a split-second decision that will shatter his life, insurance salesman Jack Spinks stops to help a young woman walking alone down a back country road. After getting into his truck the mysterious young woman grabs the steering wheel and forces the truck off the road, sending it plunging over a cliff and into the woods. What begins as a simple act of kindness spirals into a nightmare as Jack finds himself trapped in a dark and perilous world, hunted by the woman’s cryptic pursuers. As he fights for survival, Jack’s journey uncovers a haunting connection to his own past—one that may hold the key to unraveling the mystery and escaping the deadly forces closing in on him. From the highly acclaimed author of A Single Shot, A Reckoning Up Black Cat Hollow is a pulse-pounding crime thriller that weaves together psychological suspense and a gripping mystery, where every step brings Jack closer to a truth he’s long buried—and forces him to confront who, or what, he can truly trust.
