Business is slow, his parents need help, and Richmond pizza shop owner Knox Thompson is getting desperate. After a hot run at a backroom Kentucky poker game, he's pressured into dealing marijuana for a ruthless supplier and soon finds himself trapped in a world of debt, violence, and bad decisions.
Named one of Merriam-Webster's Best Lockdown Reads, Hillbilly Hustle is a sharp, darkly funny blend of crime fiction and Appalachian noir. The novel captures the rhythms and contradictions of small-town life in Kentucky while delivering a compelling tale of desperation, loyalty, and survival.
Featuring a new foreword by acclaimed crime novelist S. A. Cosby and a new cover by The Walking Dead co-creator Colonel Tony Moore, Hillbilly Hustle earned praise from Kirkus Reviews as a top-notch debut with a winning narrative voice and unexpectedly multidimensional characters and from Publishers Weekly as wry and thrilling. Blending dark humor, Appalachian grit, and noir-infused suspense, Hillbilly Hustle stands out as a fresh and unforgettable work of Southern crime fiction.
