One of the best and fiercest heist stories since A Simple Plan . . . Beartooth is unstoppable, the literary treasure you've been looking for

- Junot Diaz, Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,

Beartooth sank its teeth into me. Callan Wink treats nature as a holy altar and a widening mouth, and he writes a story that moves as fast as a bullet down a barrel

- Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon and The Comet Cycle,

I found something to love on every page of Beartooth. Callan Wink is a truly gifted writer

- Donald Ray Pollock, author of The Devil All the Time,

Callan Wink's Beartooth blew me away. What begins as propulsively as a finely drawn thriller ultimately resolves itself into something much more profound than that, at times in contact with the ineffable itself. I read it in a single sitting, but I'll be thinking about it for a long, long time to come

- Kevin Powers, author of The Yellow Birds,

Ferocious, propulsive, elemental - Beartooth is both intimate and epic, a tale in which fellowship, freedom and beautiful wildness are inextricable from savagery, desperation, and brutal realism. This is vital writing, a novel to be celebrated

- Colin Walsh, author of Kala,

In the Montana backcountry live two brothers who run a saw mill and do a little poaching on the side. Thad is the brains of the operation. His brother Hazen has a talent for tracking and hunting and getting himself into trouble. Together they have just about made it work, but now there are mounting bills, a leaky roof and winter is closing in. When a menacing figure known as the Scot offers them a risky but potentially lucrative hunting job in Yellowstone National Park, the brothers can't refuse, but before long the precarious nature of their lives and their bond is exposed. From a fresh new voice in American fiction, this is a propulsive, bracing story about the cost of survival set against the unforgiving wilderness of the American northwest.
