The book
Bitter Almonds
After graduating from the University of Mississippi, Max Richter should be preparing for a respectable adult life. Instead, he drifts through Jackson’s nightlife, gambling circles, unstable relationships, and an expanding prescription-drug operation.
Teaching eventually offers Max purpose, but his dangerous second life continues to grow. Trips to Nuevo Laredo, stolen pills, federal attention, unreliable partners, and an insecure rival pull everyone closer to consequences they can no longer control.
Raw, darkly humorous, and morally complex, Bitter Almonds follows a man who believes he understands risk, until someone else begins paying the price.
