The Bottoms is a thriller that really captures the feel of the deep south in the 1930s as seen through the eyes of a child growing up in the backwoods. When black women start disappearing and then showing up dead, racial tensions rise to a breaking point. The local sheriff falls apart when the wrong man is committed of the crimes and is hung by the Klan. Eventually the true killer resurfaces to threaten the sheriff's family in his own backyard.
The tone and the language of this book make it a winner. The Bottoms, by Joe R. Lansdale, is the winner of the Edgar Award for Best Novel for good reason.
