Bloody Sheets

When a young African-American man is lynched in a small Alabama town, his estranged father sets out for revenge, embarking on a blood-soaked journey that will leave the ravaged bodies of dead Klansmen in his wake. This book contains graphic violence and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18. Praise: Rausch unleashes a flurry of gut-punches both painful and thrilling, his prose brimming with righteous anger and stark, no-bullshit wit. This racially charged and crackling tale reads like a startling mash-up of Jim Thompson and Iceberg Slim, making Bloody Sheets that rare achievement: hard-boiled and hard-hitting, but transcendently heartfelt as well. - Wesley Strick, screenwriter of Cape Fear
