The Big Ugly

Ellie Bennett is an ex-corrections officer who has just served a year inside Eastgate Penitentiary for assaulting a prisoner. Sheâ€™s only been out for a day when she accepts a strange job offer from the head of a Christian political advocacy group. He wants her to track down a missing ex-con named Alexis. Although no one knows where Alexis has gone, it seems like everyone in Arkansas is looking for herâ€”from a rich televangelist running for Congress to the governorâ€™s dirty tricks man. When Bennett finds the troubled young woman, she has to decide whether to hand her over to the highest bidder or help her escape from the most powerful men in the state.

â€œKeep an eye on Jake Hinkson. He's taking the notion of the sacred and the profane to an entirely new level in noir.â€
â€”Lou Boxer, co-founder of NoirCon

â€œThe Big Ugly is a jolt to complacency, a spur to the psyche -- a novel that starts simply enough, but expands and suddenly consumes the reader. Jake Hinkson is a master at creating, not characters, but people -- and then putting them through Hell.â€
â€”Steve Weddle, author of Country Hardball

â€œJake Hinkson is a thunderhead on the horizon of crime fiction, and you can take The Big Ugly as confirmation that this storm isn't going to blow over any time soon. Batten down the hatches, take shelter and prepare for nasty weather. My favorite kind.â€
â€”Jedidiah Ayres, author of Peckerwood
