Based on the true story of Matt Bondurant's grandfather and two
granduncles, The Wettest County in the World is a gripping tale of
brotherhood, greed, and murder. The Bondurant Boys were a notorious
gang of roughnecks and moonshiners who ran liquor through Franklin
County, Virginia, during Prohibition and in the years after.
Howard, the eldest brother, is an ox of a man besieged by the
horrors he witnessed in the Great War; Forrest, the middle brother,
is fierce, mythically indestructible, and the consummate
businessman; and Jack, the youngest, has a taste for luxury and a
dream to get out of Franklin. Driven and haunted, these men forge a
business, fall in love, and struggle to stay afloat as they watch
their family die, their father's business fail, and the world they
know crumble beneath the Depression and drought.
The Bondurant Boys were notorious gangster brothers who ran liquor though Franklin County during Prohibition. LAWLESS is their story. Based on the true account of Matt Bondurant's grandfather and two granduncles, this is a gripping tale of bootlegging, brotherhood and revenge.
A gritty, gripping tale of brotherhood, greed, and murder, this "engrossing" (Entertainment Weekly) novel is now a major motion picture starring Jessica Chastain, Tom Hardy, Shia Labeouf, Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce, and Mia Wasikowska. With a Foreword by Director John Hillcoat Based on the true story of Matt Bondurant's grandfather and two granduncles, Lawless is a gripping tale of brotherhood, greed, and murder. The Bondurant Boys were a notorious gang of roughnecks and moonshiners who ran liquor through Franklin County, Virginia, during Prohibition and in the years after. When Sherwood Anderson, the journalist and author of Winesburg, Ohio, was covering a story there, he christened it the "wettest county in the world." Anderson finds himself driving along dusty red roads, piecing together the clues linking the brothers to "The Great Franklin County Moonshine Conspiracy," and breaking open the silence that shrouds Franklin County. In vivid, muscular prose, Matt Bondurant brings these men--their dark deeds, their long silences, their deep desires--to life. His understanding of the passion, violence, and desperation at the center of this world is both heartbreaking and magnificent.
"The Night Swimmer," Matt Bondurant's utterly riveting modern
gothic novel of marriage and belonging, confirms his gift for
storytelling that transports and enthralls.
Walter Rothschild is an American Egyptologist living in London and charged by the British Museum with the task of unlocking the ancient riddle of the Stela of Paser, one of the last remaining real-life hieroglyphic mysteries in existence today. The secrets of the stela--a centuries-old funerary stone--have evaded scholars for thousands of years due to the stela's cryptic reference to a third translation. Drawn into its mystery. Rothschild becomes the dupe of a seduction, robbery, and conspiracy engineered by a cult devoted to ancient Egyptian mysticism. With no one to trust and nothing as it appears, he must fight an elusive enemy to save his livelihood--and his very life.
