Lawless Summary

Lawless: Originally published with the title 'The Wettest County in the World' by Matt Bondurant

The Bondurant Boys were notorious gangster brothers who ran liquor though Franklin County during Prohibition. LAWLESS is their story. Based on the true account of Matt Bondurant's grandfather and two granduncles, this is a gripping tale of bootlegging, brotherhood and revenge.

Lawless Reviews

Thick with the kind of blood-soaked descriptions that would do Cormac McCarthy proud. * * Wall Street Journal * *
There is blood. There is whiskey. There is the scent of gunpowder and gasoline hanging above the space through which the Bondurants pass, unrepentant, robed in their own greed. It's a dark, flinty reimagination of what a memoir - and your grandfather's stories - can be. * * Esquire * *
Engrossing. * * Entertainment Weekly * *
This is a lyrical and riveting book . . . It's a book that hurts like life. * * Salon.com * *
