A Novel

De: Adam Darby

With a single distant gunshot ringing through the humid river bottom, everything in Seth’s life changes forever. Within a few hours he’s captured by the shooter and forced to go on a murderous joyride through the Midwest—leaving everything behind to start a new life of crime.

Seth barely survives the brutal initiation into a gang of wayward misfits assembled by his captor—lonely kids terrified of the strangest, most dangerous man any of them had ever met—all of them hellbent on reaching new markets for their homemade narcotics.

From shootouts through lush farm fields to run-ins with the law—bloody bar fights to a chilling cave beneath Kansas City, Seth evolves from sheep to shepherd as he struggles to accept his new place in the world—as he weighs whether to turn fully from prey to predator—wrestling all the while with loyalty and the cost of freedom.

A taut blend of rural noir, psychological suspense and outlaw adventure, The River Snakes charts a dark descent down America’s heartland rivers. For fans of Deliverance and No Country for Old Men, this is a tale of grit, betrayal and the price of breaking free.
