A Cold, Hard Prayer (2023)
John Smolens
"A Cold, Hard Prayer is a full, rich narrative and rewarding on many levels."
Godspeed (2021)
Nickolas Butler
"Is there a novelist writing today more adept at revealing the conflicts in the psyche of the American male than Nickolas Butler? In Godspeed, a novel that moves with the power and velocity of an avalanche, he’s done it againthis time with a tale of men chasing dreams of richesthink The Treasure of Sierra Madre, though in the mountains of the American Westmen whose desperation drives them relentlessly toward madness and murder. Butler’s characters, partners in a Wyoming construction company, have agreed to build a woman’s mountainside dream house. If they complete the project by what seems an impossible Christmas deadline, they’ll become wealthy; if they fail, they’ll walk away with nothing. As winter snows bear down on the Tetons, readers won’t be able to turn the pages of Godspeed fast enough."
