Armchair BEA: Giveaway Day!

Day two of the Armchair BEA is dedicated to giveaways!

The book I have up for grabs today is Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin:

In the 1970s, Larry Ott and Silas "32" Jones were boyhood pals in a small town in rural Mississippi. Their worlds were as different as night and day: Larry was the child of lower-middle-class white parents, and Silas, the son of a poor, black single mother. But then Larry took a girl to a drive-in movie and she was never seen or heard from again. He never confessed...and was never charged.

More than twenty years have passed. Larry lives a solitary, shunned existence, never able to rise above the whispers of suspicion. Silas has become the town constable. And now another girl has disappeared, forcing two men who once called each other "friend" to confront a past they've buried for decades.

While the summary from the publish certainly whets the appetite, I cannot stress enough the atmospheric, intriguing, and well-written story told in the book's pages.

If you are interested in winning my copy of Franklin's novel, fill out the form below!
