Still reeling from the scandal that cost him his badge, Randy
Mayhill--fallen lawman, dog rescuer, Dr Pepper enthusiast--sees a return
from community exile in the form of a dead hog trapper perched on a
fence. The fence belongs to the late Van Woods, Mayhill's best friend
and the reason for his spectacular fall. Determined to protect Van's
land and family from another scandal, Mayhill ignores the sherriff who
replaced him and investigates the death of the unidentified man. His
quest crosses with two others: Birdie, Van's surly, mourning daughter,
who has no intention of sitting idly by and leaving her father's legacy
in Mayhill's hands; and Bradley, Birdie's slow, malnourished but loyal
friend, whose desperation to escape a life of poverty has him working
with local criminals, and possibly a murderer. A riveting debut novel
about family and loyalty, old grudges and new lives, AIN'T NOBODY NOBODY
is like a cross between Faulkner and "Breaking Bad", from a talented new
writer with an authentic Texas voice.
