I have not read that particular book but Sterling Watson is a
good writer. If I have my Florida writer's tree correctly,
Watson was a student of Harry Crews and I believe Dennis
Lehane was a student of Watson's. Lehane received a degree
from the Eckert College where Watson teaches and they have
written together. I also think James W. Hall was another
student of Watson's students.
