Living underneath the porch of a old house deep in the American bayou, the kittens are safe, just as long as they stay in the Underneath.
He must be rich after 30 years as a dealer, but he still ran the Dirty Ditty, still drove a burgundy '91 Mercury Grand Marquis. Somehow he got it past state inspection, even with Bondo around the wheel wells.
But they are safe in the Underneath...as long as they stay in the Underneath. Kittens, however, are notoriously curious creatures.
An old hound that has been chained up at his hateful owner's run-down shack, and two kittens born underneath the house, endure separation, danger, and many other tribulations in their quest to be reunited and free. 50,000 first printing.
THE UNDERNEATH is a tense, intelligent, beautifully written thriller which is also a considered exploration of violence, both personal and national, and whether it can ever be justified.
