NOMINATED FOR THE ANTHONY AWARD "Reminds me of a young Quentin Tarantino. Pruitt is one of our best Southern fiction writers." -Bookreporter Meet Jack Jordan. Hes a smooth-talking con artist with a penchant for the fast life. Hes snuck into Lufkin, Texas, in the dead of night with little more than a beat-up Honda, a hollowed-out King James Bible full of cocaine, and enough emotional baggage to sink a steam ship. Hes charming, dedicated, and extremely paranoid. Summer Ashton, his partner-in-crime. Shes stuck by him through thick and thin, but lately her mind has begun to slip. Theyve told their fair share of lies and shes having a devil of a time remembering whats the truth. And recently, shes been hearing voices. Unfortunately for both of them, shes the brains of the operation. Furthermore, they have begun to tire of one another. For these two career grifters, the sleepy East Texas countryside is but another pit stop on their rampage across the American South. Will it be their last? In WHAT WE RECKON, Eryk Pruitt explores themes of identity, loyalty, and purpose with psycho-delic, transgressive, chicken-fried twists that read like Trainspotting cut with a couple grams of Helter Skelter.
