Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter / Tom Franklin / 274 pages / Anthony Award Best Novel 2011

Larry Ott and Silas "32" Jonas were unlikely friends in the 1970's.  Larry was the white son of a landed middle class mechanic and Silas was the poor son of a single black woman.  Larry is accused of the murder and disappearance of Cindy Walker, whom he was the last person to see. He was never brought to trail as no evidence could be found.  He has lived his entire life under this shadow, even after the death of his father and his inheritance of his father's garage.  Twenty years later, the friends meet again, as Silas - now an officer of the law, is investigating another disappearance.
