Back in September, we announced that Brian Panowich’s highly-anticipated follow-up to Bull Mountain was coming in 2019. Now, we finally have the cover art to go with the plot details . . . and it looks really good. Check it out below!
The powerful follow up to acclaimed debut Bull Mountain.
Brian Panowich’s acclaimed debut novel Bull Mountain burst onto the crime fiction scene in 2015, winning awards and accolades from readers and critics alike. Now with Like Lions, he cements his place as one of the outstanding new voices in crime fiction.
Clayton Burroughs is a small-town Georgia sheriff, a new father, and, improbably, the heir apparent of Bull Mountain’s most notorious criminal family.
As he tries to juggle fatherhood, his job and his recovery from being shot in the confrontation that killed his two brothers last year, he’s doing all he can just to survive. Yet after years of carefully toeing the line between his life in law enforcement and his family, he finally has to make a choice.
With the death of a boy from a rival group, Clayton is pulled back into the life he so desperately wants to leave behind. Revenge is a powerful force, and the vacuum left by his brothers’ deaths has left them all vulnerable. With his wife and child in danger, and the way of life in Bull Mountain under siege for everyone, Clayton will need to find a way to bury the bloody legacy of his past once and for all.
Fans excited to get their hands on Like Lions (in stores April 30, 2019) can now pre-order it wherever books are sold. In the meantime, make sure you’re following Brian Panowich on Twitter and Facebook for more updates.
