The End of the Road (2023)
Andrew Welsh-Huggins
"Hardboiled, All-American noir . . . Welsh-Huggins's vivid sense of place and incisive characterizations create a believable portrayal of both utterly depraved evil and the genuine goodness of those decent, brave few who are heroic without ever knowing it. An epic small-town mid-Western."
