What We Reckon

<b>"Reminds me of a young Quentin Tarantino. Pruitt is one of our best Southern fiction writers." ―Bookreporter</b><br />Meet Jack Jordan. He’s a smooth-talking con artist with a penchant for the fast life. He’s snuck into Lufkin, Texas, in the dead of night with little more than a beat-up Honda, a hollowed-out King James Bible full of cocaine, and enough emotional baggage to sink a steam ship. He’s charming, dedicated, and extremely paranoid.<br /> <br />Summer Ashton, his partner-in-crime. She’s stuck by him through thick and thin, but lately her mind has begun to slip. They’ve told their fair share of lies and she’s having a devil of a time remembering what’s the truth. And recently, she’s been hearing voices. Unfortunately for both of them, she’s the brains of the operation.<br /> <br />Furthermore, they have begun to tire of one another.<br /> <br />For these two career grifters, the sleepy East Texas countryside is but another pit stop on their rampage across the American South.<br /><br />Will it be their last?<br /> <br />In WHAT WE RECKON, Eryk Pruitt explores themes of identity, loyalty, and purpose with psycho-delic, transgressive, chicken-fried twists that read like Trainspotting cut with a couple grams of Helter Skelter.
