Trouble in the Heartland

Crime fiction inspired by the songs of Bruce Springsteen

Like some born killers, this pairing of crime stories –written by Dennis Lehane, James Grady, Hilary Davidson and others- and the songs of Bruce Springsteen is a natural one.

Each of the accomplished authors in this unique anthology chose a Springsteen title as a starting point, and in the criminally inclined spirit of the Boss, drove headlong to wherever that inspiration called. The destinations are as wildly diverse and far-reaching as the songs that influenced them. Some arrive at hope and redemption; others end up smoking in a ditch. One thing’s for sure: you sign up for this ride, and Trouble in the Heartland will transport you somewhere unforgettable.
