Autumn 1937 - a new face appears in the chilly coastal town of Port Alma. Who is the beautiful yet mysterious woman who gives away nothing of her past?

Cal, the surviving brother, sets out in pursuit of the woman he believes has killed his brother.

The Bottoms has all of Lansdale's customary vivid style and speedy pace but leaves behind the wisecracking Hap/Leonard duo for something much darker and more considered.

It's the 1930's Great Depression in East Texas. Life is hard, racism is rife and someone has been mutilating and killing black women. The assumption is that blacks are killing blacks, so no lawman has bothered to put the killings together and discern a pattern. Jacob - part-time farmer, barber and constable - has a common-sense view on race that brings him into conflict with the local Ku Klux Klan. He makes it his business to find out what's going on and so brings down the full panoply of deep-south racism on his family cross-burnings and all.
