The Bramble and the Rose - A Henry Farrell Novel

Praise for the Henry Farrell novels:
DRY BONES IN THE VALLEY
"[A] mesmerizing and often terrifying story."

- Washington Post
"Rural noir at its finest: a poetically written mystery."

- Kirkus Reviews
"An authenticity of place and character rare in any form of literature."

- Ivan Doig
"A tough, edgy thriller."

- Wiley Cash
"So smooth it's as if it was written on spring water. Shadowy, swift, impossible to put down."

- Joe R. Lansdale
FATEFUL MORNINGS
"[A] relentless thriller that reads like a literary novel."

- Washington Post
"Crime fiction with a level of intimacy that is both rare and winning. I was happy to ride shotgun with Henry Farrell again."

- Attica Locke
"[A] long sought-after gem, the place where the literary meets the crime novel in beautiful symmetry. Henry Farrell is an existential everyman, as clueless as the rest of us about life's meaning, and his so very human stumbling in search of the elusive truths is one of the many beauties of this fine novel."

- William Kent Krueger
"Officer Farrell...proves to be excellent company."

- Wall Street Journal
