Concise  with the right details rendered perfectly  these sentences come to the reader with marvelous straight forwardness  clean as a bone.\"--Elizabeth Strout  Olive Kitteridge meets The Mars Room in this powerfully unsentimental work of fiction--a portrait of nine lives behind the concrete walls of a New Hampshire jail.  David Moloneys Barker House follows the story of nine unforgettable New Hampshire correctional officers over the course of one year on the job. While veteran guards get by on what they consider survival strategies--including sadistic power-mongering and obsessive voyeurism--two rookies  including the only female officer on her shift  develop their own tactics for facing the system. Tracking their subtly intertwined lives  Barker House reveals the precarious world of the jailers  coming to a head when the unexpected death of one in their ranks brings them together.  Timely and universal  this masterfully crafted debut adds a new layer to discussions of Americas criminal justice system  and introduces a brilliant young literary talent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67970561409077,"sku":"ByrdShop_1635574161","price":29.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781635574166.jpg?v=1794590765","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/barker-house-9781635574166","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
