Praise for Cynan Jones:

"[A] piercing novella. . . . Like Cormac McCarthy, Jones can make the everyday sound fraught and biblical." -***Kirkus Reviews*, starred review**

"Jones's perfectly pitched novel will appeal to anyone looking beyond sheer thrills." -Library Journal

"This slim volume has all the gravity of a black hole, and reading it is like standing on the event horizon. . . . It's like a more beautiful Cormac McCarthy; a darker W.H. Auden." -Elliot Bay Book Company

"There's nothing bucolic about this elemental, extraordinary tale of good and evil." -Shelf Awareness

“Jones deftly explores his characters’ motives, particularly the hope they cling to despite the risks they take.” -Booklist

“It’s as if the novel is the slowed-down spinning of a bullet through the grooves of a barrel, waiting to be released into the world.” -Vol. 1 Brooklyn

“Darkly luminous . . . [Jones] builds tension in an ultimately gripping and important story that transcends its own bleakness.” -Library Journal

When a net is set, and that's the way you choose, you'll hit it. Hold, a Welsh fisherman, Grzegorz, a Polish migrant worker, and Stringer, an Irish gangster, all want the chance to make their lives better. One kilo of cocaine and the sea tie them together in a fatal series of decisions.

Cynan Jones was born near Aberaeron on the west coast of Wales in 1975. He is the author of four short novels, most recently The Dig (Coffee House Press, 2014), which won a Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize in 2014 and the Wales Book of the Year Fiction Prize 2015. His work has been translated into several languages, and short stories have aired on BBC Radio and appeared in a number of anthologies and publications including Granta.*Everything I Found on the Beach* is the second of three United States releases of his work by Coffee House Press.
