2020 ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARDS WINNER

"Literary crime fiction doesn't get any better than this." - Readers' Favorite

An artist is murdered. We know who did it. But why?

From award-winning author Harlin Hailey comes this ripped-from-the-headlines tale of desperation, depravity, and murder. 

Darkly funny, this evocative, psychological hard-boiled whydunit captures the underground mood of those forgotten, and how far they'll go once they've lost it all.  East of Lincoln is a poignant and unforgettable story of the dark heart of the American dream, and the enduring power of friendship. For fans of James Ellroy, L.A. noir, dirty-realism, Bret Easton Ellis, Charles Bukowski, John Fante, Raymond Chandler, and Joan Didion.
