Harold Butler has been accused of a crime he swears on his mama's grave he didn't commit. But the townsfolk are plumb giddy at the thought of a hanging taking place right in their back yard, and they want justice, justified or not. Murder in Breakbroke Pass is a satire, set in a small Tennessee town in 1976. Though a body hasn't been found, a local wealthy widow is presumed dead, and the evidence is stacked against Harold . . . as are the town's dirty little secrets. An interesting cast of characters takes the observer through, as one reader stated, ." . . more twists and turns and surprises than any book I've ever read." You'll be introduced to a good number of Breakbroke Pass residents to love, to hate, and to hoot 'n' holler for. And just when you think it's about over, keep your eyes peeled for what comes around the bend next. Written with influences from Mark Twain, Erskine Caldwell, Kurt Vonnegut, Arlo Guthrie, Christopher Moore, Douglas Adams, and other purveyors of satirical novels, this one carries the voice of old downhome storytelling with a wink and a grin.
