Synopsis

“Brian Panowich’s glorious return to Bull Mountain is another sprawling, brutal, no-holds-barred novel that held me in a death grip from page one until it kicked me out of the door with an ending I never saw coming.” — C.J. Box

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 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.

"Brian Panowich makes a triumphant return to Bull Mountain, Georgia, in his second novel, Like Lions, as he continues to mix crime fiction with a violent family drama, perfectly melding characters with a sense of place." — Associated Press

5 Stars. The Very Definition of Grit Lit! Full of heart, “Like Lions” by Brian Panovich is also dark, ominous and yes, it’s violent too. There’s just something about Panovich’s novels that makes it impossible to tear your eyes away.. even in the midst of pain and suffering, no matter whose blood i......more

The Burroughs sequel to Bull Mountain continues in the same gritty fashion with Clayton, the Sheriff, whose bloodline is connected with those redneck hillbilly criminals. This one was a little slow to get some traction but once it finally did, it took off like a jack rabbit. The twist at the end made......more

I loved the first book in the series, Bull Mountain. Clayton Burroughs, the sheriff, was a good man, the only good man in the entire Burroughs clan, and the last man standing. But after the events of the first book, he is but a pathetic shell of his former self and became much less interesting to me......more
