Now with Like Lions, he cements his place as one of the outstanding new voices in crime fiction. Clayton Burroughs is a small-town Georgia sheriff, a new father, and, improbably, the heir apparent of Bull Mountain's most notorious criminal family. As he tries to juggle fatherhood, his job and his recovery from being shot in the confrontation that killed his two criminally-inclined brothers last year, he's doing all he can just to survive. Yet after years of carefully toeing the line between his life in law enforcement and his family, he finally has to make a choice. When a rival organization makes a first foray into Burroughs territory, leaving a trail of bodies and a whiff of fear in its wake, Clayton is pulled back into the life he so desperately wants to leave behind. Revenge is a powerful force, and the vacuum left by his brothers' deaths has left them all vulnerable. With his wife and child in danger, and the way of life in Bull Mountain under siege for everyone, Clayton will need to find a way to bury the bloody legacy of his past once and for all.… (plus d'informations)

Rarely does a book open with such an emotionally suspenseful scene. I felt stunned as I read the dramatic, heart wrenching story of a mother’s attempt to leave her abusive, criminal husband. Like Lions is a sequel to Bull Mountain and it’s just as dark and gritty. This story takes place on Bull Mountain, Georgia where a sheriff is determined to extinguish the crime and violence from his community. Such a tall order considering he is constantly fighting against his own family whose legacy is so powerful. This time, Sheriff Clayton Burroughs’ enemies come after his wife and child. Brian Panowich doesn’t just write really great novels; his story telling abilities are masterful. Panowich skillfully illustrates how easily the boundaries are blurred for Clayton as he navigates to protect his family. And, wow…the ending truly left me frozen. I had to sit and digest that one for some time. (

Wow! Even better than the authors first book Bull Mountain (which you really should read first).
The action in Like Lions is non stop.
Crazy southern red neck white trash vs even crazier criminal trash. This was a thrill ride that never lets up
And ends perfectly.
A great book. (

Having noticed this in the new fiction section of the library, the summary and back cover quotes caused interest. Unfamiliar with the author, I had high hopes. The beauty of life is each spirit is drawn to certain elements and in this case, the story was far too simple, predictable with characters that lacked depth. Having read many authors who focus on Southern US culture, the 'red neck' types are of little appeal but this appears to be the author's focus. Regardless, it managed to hold interest due to 3 page chapters but not much more. (

Bello davvero, tanto quanto il precedente. (

This was a good follow-up to Bull Mountain, and I'd recommend reading that one first. This was pretty similar and I liked it a lot, although I occasionally got a little annoyed with Clayton, the sheriff. He kept doing things that he knew was wrong and self-destructive, yet did it anyway. There are lots of people who have problems with alcohol, drugs, or gambling, and get in a lot of trouble but don't realize they are making mistakes until it's too late. That's easier to take than someone that knows for sure they are making the mistakes, but do it anyway. But it's always easier to see the mistakes of others, I guess.

I'm not rushing in to read the next one of the series, though. I need a break from the violence although I probably won't wait very long before revisiting the gang to see what they get up to. (

"A book filled with unforgettable characters and a tension that heightens with every chapter." �??The Wall Street Journal

A powerful follow up to multiple award-winning debut Bull Mountain.

Brian Panowich burst onto the crime fiction scene in 2015, winning awards and accolades from readers and critics alike for his smoldering debut, Bull Mountain. Now with Like Lions, he cements his place as one of the outstanding new voices in crime fiction.
Clayton Burroughs is a small-town Georgia sheriff, a new father, and, improbably, the heir apparent of Bull Mountain's most notorious criminal family.
As he tries to juggle fatherhood, his job and his recovery from being shot in the confrontation that killed his two criminally-inclined brothers last year, he's doing all he can just to survive. Yet after years of carefully toeing the line between his life in law enforcement and his family, he finally has to make a choice.
When a rival organization makes a first foray into Burroughs territory, leaving a trail of bodies and a whiff of fear in its wake, Clayton is pulled back into the life he so desperately wants to leave behind. Revenge is a powerful force, and the vacuum left by his brothers' deaths has left them all vulnerable. With his wife and child in danger, and the way of life in Bull Mountain under siege for everyone, Clayton will need to find a way to bury the bloody legacy of his past once and for all.
