After my awesome dystopian reads of Skin Job and Sand I am ready to get stuck into Swollen Red Sun!

Religion, meth, corruption, and morality come together in this gripping tale of desperation

In Gasconade County, Missouri, once called the meth capital of the world. Deputy Sherriff Dale Banks discovers $52,000 hidden in the broken-down trailer that Jerry Dean Skaggs uses for cooking crystal. And he takes it. Banks knows what he did was wrong, but he did it for all the right reasons. At least, he thinks so. But for every wrong, there is a consequence.

Jerry Dean can’t afford to lose that $52,000—he owes it to his partners, a crooked cop, and the fearsome Reverend Butch Pogue, who controls the town’s meth production with an iron fist. With the looming threat of prison or death—depending on who catches him first—Jerry Dean makes a final attempt to save himself, setting into motion a series of events that shake even Gasconade County’s most degenerate citizens.
