Die Famous
A family in peril takes to the road in this thrilling historical epic
“DIE FAMOUS is the best gangster novel I’ve ever read. These aren’t your Mafia goodfellas; they are the hardcase bank thieves who roamed from Indiana to Maine in the 30s. The writing is first class, and the action is nonstop.”
-Stephen King
“DIE FAMOUS juxtaposes shootouts, narrow escapes, vengeance, and justice, against a backdrop of family bonds, loyalty, love, motherhood, and memory. Capped off with an ending you won’t see coming, this story will send you careening down the back roads, hanging on by your fingernails until the final page.”
-Lisa Wingate
