A World of Thieves   James Carlos Blake
Well-written novel about a family of bandits in 1920s New Orleans and west Texas. Good characterizations, effective first person narrative, and historical accuracy. The John Bones bogeyman sub plot kind of gets in the way, and even minor characters have involved stories to tell, which got a little tedious, but in all, really well done. Moved right along, cared about the characters, felt authentic. Really enjoyed it.
