A National Public Radio reviewer called Kim Zupan’s novel about the midnight conversations between a central Montana deputy sheriff and a killer locked in the Copper County jail “beautifully executed and dark as pitch.” Zupan’s precise knowledge of his landscape makes it a stunning character of its own. He earned his M.F.A. degree in creative writing at UM and rode rodeo horses and worked as a carpenter before publishing his first novel. He teaches at Missoula College.
