Miami Purity

 Afterward by Megan Abbott
Hitting bottom for the last time, Miami exotic dancer Sherry Parlay breaks away from the business, takes a job at a dry cleaner, and begins a relationship with a man that pushes her most violent buttons.



​Praise for Miami Purity

“A hymn to American trash culture.”
    — New York Times Book Review


“Redneck women find a voice for the ages in Hendricks’ simple yet searing first novel [Miami Purity]”--Publishers Weekly

“Miami Purity cooks white hot. . . An instant redneck idiot savant classic: so gruesome and funny and deadpan outlandish that you wind up baying at the moon like a Florida coondog.”
    — James Ellroy

“A book of raw, primitive power with a relentless drumbeat of sexuality.”
    — James W. Hall, author of Under Cover of Daylight

“Sex and murder, sunny places and shady people--Miami Purity is a modern noir masterpiece.”
    — Michael Connelly

The authentic heir to James M. Cain, Vicki Hendricks is the high priestess of neo-noir. A fierce and fearless talent.”
    — Dennis Lehane

“Shocking and supercharged, both reverent and original, this is the novel that amped up a new generation of noir writers.”
    — George Pelecanos, author of The Big Blowdown
