A powerful, menacing novel from the New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash.

Summer in Madison County. Seventeen-year-old Travis Shelton cannot see a way out of his small town - until he discovers a grove of marijuana in the woods that could make him some serious money.

But Travis has stumbled across more than drugs. His discovery is the first unwitting step in a journey back to the savage violence and betrayal festering in the community's past, and to the corruption in its present.

Vivid and unsettling, The World Made Straight is a powerful exploration of the secrets that bind us together and drive us apart.
