Terry Kay - Dark Thirty
Not since In Cold Blood has a book probed so deeply and so powerfully into the human drama that a senseless act of savagery leaves in its wake – the agony of Jesse Wade, the panic of the townspeople, the burden of the lawyers who must defend the killers, and the encroachment of the news media, exploiting it all. In this beautifully written, deeply felt novel, Terry Kay chillingly juxtaposes the pastoral beauty of Appalachia and the traditional values of small town America with the spreading stain of evil that threatens us all.
“Not since Deliverance has the dark power and mystery of Appalachia been so keenly evoked. Dark Thirty is a stunning, brilliant novel and Terry Kay is simply one of the best novelists now practicing the craft.”
- Pat Conroy
