DRY COUNTY
A dark vision of American religion and politics, DRY COUNTY is a portrait of a man willing to do anything to hold on to his powerincluding murder.
Richard Weatherford is a small-town preacher in the Arkansas Ozarks, a husband, father, and respected member of his community. But while Weatherford is a man of influence and powerand a big force in local politicshe's also a man with secrets.
In the lead up to the 2016 Presidential election, Weatherford's world is threatened when he's blackmailed by a former lover. Collecting the money the blackmailer demands will be a nearly impossible feat, especially over Easter weekend, when all eyes are on him. So Weatherford will have to turn to the darkest corners for aid in a desperate attempt to keep his world from falling apart.
Exploring a divided country and a cracked façade through the alternating perspectives of Weatherford, his wife, his lover, and other town residents, DRY COUNTY is a powerful story about how far some will go to keep hold of all they knowand all that others think them to be.
Jake Hinkson teaches creative writing at The Chicago Academy for the Arts. He has published a handful of crime novels on small presses, and his books have been translated into French and Italian. His work has received the two most prestigious awards that are granted to literary crime fiction in France: Hell on Church Street (L'Enfer de Church Street) was awarded the Prix Mystère de la Critique in 2016, No Tomorrow (Sans Lendemain) was awarded the Grand Prix des Littératures Policières in 2018.
