"If you ain't first, you're last" -Ricky Bobby
Can't Shake The Dust is about the most appropriate name this book could be called! You immediately are put under a spell from the first chapter and you find yourself immersed in this kind of timeless southern place. Wild was a racing legend before his home town career was ended in a gone legging, car crash. His son Little is tasked with taking on the family gauntlet. You also get the perspective of Nanny, Littles mom. With some throw backs to one of Hooks former book Alligator Zoo Park Magic, this story grabs you and locks you into a rollercoaster of ups and downs as you decide who is the trusted narrator and just when if ever they will shake the dust. I am lucky enough to have got an advance copy and this one is definitely a book you should Pre-order now and prepare for this October!
