Roots Down to Hell

He found himself at war with the modern world-and the laws of God and Man. When a rural misfit from a harsh, blue-collar world marries an idealistic college girl, the chances for domestic bliss are close to nil. Because marriage isn't what it used to be, and neither is higher education. But nobody explained any of this to Kevin Chapman, and now it's too late. His reality just crashed down around him, and when the dust settles, he's in the aftermath of the unthinkable. Kevin's life is now a nightmare that he can't wake up from.
As his bleak past weighs on him, and his unthinkable acts multiply, his only hope is to embrace the darkness-and risk being lost in it forever. Praise for Roots Down To Hell: "Stunningly noir ... one of those reads you'll devour in one or two sittings."-Vincent Zandri, New York Times and USA Today bestselling ITW Thriller and PWA Shamus Award winning author of Her Darkest Secret and the Dick Moonlight PI series. "A modern classic on the order of Scott Smith's masterpiece, A Simple Plan."-Les Edgerton, author of The Death of Tarpons, Hard Times and Hooked "Brilliant and brutally real.
