One of Pop Sugar's "10 BOOKS BY DEBUT AUTHORS TO WATCH." From a powerful new literary voice, a sweeping epic of one family and the destructive power of the American Dream. "A powerful debut novel for fans of literary fiction and with special import for fathers and soon-to-be fathers."--Library Journal

All their lives, the children of George Benjamin Hill have fought to escape the shadow of their father, a dust-bowl orphan, self-made millionaire in bedrock American capitalism (fast food and oil), and destroyer of two families on his way to financial success.

Now, they are approaching middle age and ruin: A failed ex-minor league ballplayer, divorced and mourning the death of his daughter in Miami; a self-proclaimed CIA veteran, off his meds and deciphering conspiracies in Manhattan; a Las Vegas showgirl turned old maid of The Strip, trying to stay clean; and an Alaskan bush pilot, twice un-indicted for manslaughter and recently thrown off his land by the federal government.

While their father takes his place at the center of a national scandal, these estranged siblings find themselves drawn from their four corners of the country, compelled along crowded interstates by resentment and confusion, converging on a 300-acre horse ranch outside Omaha for a final confrontation with the father they never had.

Migrating from the suburban anonymity of 1950s San Bernardino, to the frozen end of the world (Alaska circa 1976), and concluding in the background of one of the most horrifying moments in American history, The Patricide of George Benjamin Hill spans seventy years of life in America, from the Great Depression to the age of corporate greed and terrorism. It is a literary suspense novel about the decline and consequence of patriarchal society. It is also an intricate family saga of aspiration and betrayal.

James Charlesworth grew up in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and attended college at Penn State in State College, PA.. He is a recipient of the Martin Dibner Fellowship from the Maine Community Foundation and an MFA from Emerson College. He lives north of Boston and is at work on his second book. The Patricide of George Benjamin Hill is his first novel.
