In backwoods peninsular South Carolina live diverse characters including over-the-top cops, naive moronic crackers, the plainly mad, a Nazi war criminal and his nemeses, tempestuous lovers, and more. In a wonderfully out-of-place Scottish castle lives a very clever man with a hook for a hand. A greedy businessman tries taking everything not nailed down, while a beautiful, intelligent reporter is sent to this purgatory for her sins. An odd township of throwbacks and the criminally insane, many endowed with a Byronic ferocity. The dialogue zooms, crackles, and pops, often wild, nonsensical and counterintuitive, with wild accusations and ridiculous alibis. ONCE READ, NEVER FORGOTTEN
