They Don't Dance Much: A Novel

They Don't Dance Much: A Novel

In this classic country noir, featuring a new introduction by Daniel Woodrell, a small town farmer takes a job at a roadhouse, where unbridled greed leads to a brutal murder

Jack McDonald is barely a farmer. Boll weevils have devoured his cotton crop, his chickens have stopped laying eggs, and everything he owns is mortgagedâ€”even his cow. He has no money, no prospects, and nothing to do but hang around filling stations, wondering where his next drink will come from. As far as hooch goes, thereâ€™s no place like Smut Milliganâ€™s, where Breath of Spring moonshine sells for a dollar a pint.
Â
A bootlegger with an entrepreneurial spirit, Milligan has plans to open a roadhouse, and he asks Jack to run the till. The music will be hot, the liquor cheap, and the clientele rough. But the only thing stronger than Milliganâ€™s hooch is his greed, and Jack is slowly drawn into the middle of Smutâ€™s dalliances with a married woman, the machinations of corrupt town officialsâ€”and a savage act of murder.
