There are good reasons why the Wall Street Journal, Kirkus Reviews and the New York Times Editor's choice point to a long career for Tom Wright. Dr. Wright gives Jim a voice for the ages. And the Crime Writer's Association's short-listing for his debut novel confirms Wright's place among the best Southern authors on the literary stage. To top it off, being nominated to join Drew Littman's list of the best books released in 2012 is enough for me to want the rest of the novels in Wright's series. And, What Dies In Summer deserves a softbound edition so everyone can afford a chance to read Wright's visceral prose.
