    About this ebook

    Meet Buck Aldred, a former big-city homicide detective who has opted for a quieter and simpler life in the Virginia Blue Ridge. That was the plan anyway. When Buck noses around in an old missing persons case by way of returning a favor to a neighbor, he unearths more corruption and criminal mischief than he ever suspected the rugged uplands could hide. A departure for T.R. Pearson, East Jesus South is not a comedy. It's a creepy, unsettling look at the rot beneath the honeyed, 'Aw Shucks' veneer of the American South.

    "Practitioners and fans of the mystery genre have long used Faulkner to shore up its sometimes shaky reputation.  Sooner or later, they'll be doing the same with T. R. Pearson." -The New York Times
