Wow, another great read! I am on a roll! So this book is a bit like "These Things Hidden". It's kind of a murder mystery novel.In the 1970's, Larry and Silas were childhood pals from 2 different worlds. Larry, the son of middle-class white parents and Silas, the son of a poor black single mother. Then Larry takes a girl to the drive-in and she is never heard from again. He doesn't confess and was never charged, but lives as a recluse as he is presumed guilty by the entire town.
Now twenty years have passed and another girl has gone missing forcing these unlikely friends to come across each others paths once again.
This is another book that I would recommend to most. It does have a very foul-mouthed character in it, so I would advise that you be able to handle language. Some sexual and rape references as well. Overall a very good book. I own this one and plan to read more of Tom Franklin's novels.
