Galveston by Nic Pizzolatto

5.0

Wow, the was one I just couldn't put down. This is a hell of a book for a debut novel and I can definitely see how just a few years later he would sell, write, and produce True Detective for HBO. Two people running from their pasts who become very unlikely travel partners. It was gritty and immersive to the point you felt you were right there with Roy and Rocky from start to finish. Both characters had a kindness and innocence that glimmered through the very crusty and questionable lives and occupations that defined them. . An instant favorite here.
