About this Event
The troubles of two desperate families—one white, one Mexican American—converge in the ruthless underworld of an Arkansas chicken processing plant in this new thriller from the award-winning author of Don't Know Tough.
Tombolo Books welcomes back Edgar Award winning author of Don't Know Tough and Ozark Dogs, Eli Cranor, to the bookstore to celebrate his latest southern noir crime fiction, Broiler!
Cranor's Broiler exposes the dark, bloody heart of life on the margins in the American South and the bleak underside of a bygone American Dream.
“Eli Cranor proves all the promise of his Edgar-winning debut and doubles down on it with each new effort. Broiler is grit and muscle on the surface, but it hits deep, populated with characters who linger. Cranor delivers the thrills while in pursuit of bigger game, those special stories born at the intersection of desperation and hope. Don't miss his work.”
—Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of An Honest Man
