Praise for FOLLOW YOU DOWN: If James Crumley got lost and ended up in the ramshackle backwaters of rural Michigan he might have written a book like Follow You Down. Deputy Meg Shaw navigating tattoo parlors strip bars and biker clubs in search of a missing teenage girl is one of the most believable and compelling investigators Ive read in contemporary crime fiction. Follow You Down is at turns funny and horrifying and Hyatts prose is taut as piano wire run through with an amphetamine hum that refuses to stop even long after the book is finished. --Augustus Rose author of The Readymade Thief Follow You Down is everything a crime novel should be--its grounded its full of well-earned surprises and its tough enough that it doesnt need to read like a fantasy. More than that its a story of well-drawn carefully observed human behavior lending real weight to the idea that average people can end up as participants in horrific crimes. Like the town of Pike Lake in which its set Follow You Down has an edge that cuts deep. I cannot recommend it highly enough. --David Peak author of Corpsepaint
