I heard about this book on a 'best of' podcast episode of All The Books and now I'm wondering how I had never heard of this author before.
A dark, violent story told through the eyes of a black Sheriff -- the moral compass of the novel and a fascinating one at that. There is a lot going on in this book but overall, it reads like reality. The action is non-stop and once I got past the first couple of chapters, I ended up neglecting everything to read this in almost one sitting this past weekend. Definitely a challenging book but I would highly recommend it. I've already picked out my next read by this author.
What annoyed him about Top Cat was the overabundance of self-righteousness he now possessed. It was a trait common to the recently saved. Especially if one suffered from some form of dependency in their previous unsaved life. It was like they traded a secular addiction for a sanctified one.
Trigger warnings: graphic violence/blood/gore on page (including to children), racism, racist slurs, grief due to loss of parent, guilt & trauma.
