Summary

"Immersive.... Brutal.... Primal." (Kirkus Reviews)

Ever since his brother electrocuted him as a boy, Baer Creighton feels an electric tingle when people lie to him. He lives in the woods, stills unrivaled moonshine, and limits human contact to regular buyers, his niece Mae, and her three kids. It’s a good life, sharing humor and philosophy with his sole companion Fred, a back-sassin' pit bull getting on in years, until Fred goes missing then arrives dumped in a ditch, a victim of a local dog-fighting ring. 

Armed with a Smith & Wesson, audacity, and a moonshiner's know-how, Baer hunts the dog thief. Was it Cory Smylie, pothead son of the Gleason police chief - who resented Baer for making him treat Mae right? Or Baer’s brother Larry, whose real feud with Baer started not with the prank electrocution but back 30 years to when Baer stole Ruth and Larry stole her back? Maybe it was Joe Stipe or one of those lugnuts he kept at his side like a private Secret Service? Stipe ran the dogfights, exerted a heavy influence on every form of backwoods commerce, and a couple years ago, tried to muscle Baer out of his stillin' operation. 

Convinced justice must be proportional, Baer seeks the truth. But he tips his hand and begins a war of attrition against a cabal steeped in blood sport and thirsty for violence....

With his niece in danger, the ex-love-of-his-life Ruth missing - either dead or plotting against him - and all the town's finest trying to burn him down or shoot him on sight, Baer vows to bring a reckoning to every man present at the fight ring. 

Though vengeance doesn't come easy for Baer Creighton...it comes. And when you discover who stole Fred, you’ll know you’ve found a new master of the dark surreal. 

"My Brother's Destroyer is a fantastic read, and I highly recommend it for your next book." (Manhattan Book Review)

"I was left completely in awe." (Seattle Book Review)

I am completely hooked

WOW!!!! My first experience of Clayton Lindemouth and I am in LOVE. This story is like a modern day western, the lawlessness, the stangeness and a lovable hero who is trying hard to mind his own business, but the bad guys keep coming. The writing is vivid, the whole town and characters are truelly alive. And the narration is fantastic, perfect voice for Bear and a big part of what makes this book so great. I purchased extra credits the minute I finished this book, just to get the second one in the series. Highly recommend this

An Audible Highlight

Most books are better read from the page but a few were made for an Audible edition. This is a perfect example. The intonation, the accents, the very feel of the novel come across in this performance that can't be matched by reading it on dry paper.
I'll give nothing away about the actual story, except to say that I found it gripping, but I have no hesitation in recommending it as a top class listen, though I will say it is not for the faint of heart or those too demure for their own good.

Entertaining Characters

This was a good story and well narrated, the teller put you right in Redneck country with all it's dark undertones and larger than life characters, Baer Creighton is an interesting character and so are his protagonists.

A Great listen

This is a step away from the norm.
A gritty, unpolished, straight out flat good book.
It puts you in the woods with the characters in 3 dimensions. You see, feel and smell the story as it rides. The characters stand up like flesh and blood.
This is book one and a hell of a job it does starting the story running.
This book was so good I couldn't put it down and when I had, I wondered what Baer was going to get himself into next.
Highly recommended. Miss it at your peril
