In "Mesa Boys," Ronnie plots a haphazard heist with a twisted con man. In "The Feud," tough-as-nails Rex lets his resentment for a local pot dealer cloud his judgement. And, in "Bar Burning," a mysterious drifter goes toe-to-toe with his new lady's psychotic ex-husband.

Accidental Outlaws is a hellfire ride through working class America's angsty underbelly.

Praise for ACCIDENTAL OUTLAWS:

"The hardest hitting rural noir I've read in ages, like a mule-kick in the teeth." -CS DeWildt, author of Love You to a Pulp and Kill 'Em with Kindness

"Just sh*t loads of good fun...trailer trash noir at its very best." -Grant Nicol, author of On a Small Island, The Mistake, A Place To Bury Strangers and Out On The Ice

"Matt Phillips speaks fluently the language of the dispossessed... His whiskey-soaked prose can at times be as slick as a man slinging snake-oil, and other times as brutal as a baseball bat to the head." -Eryk Pruitt, author of Hashtag and Dirtbags

"Phillips' writing is so multi-layered and deep...An author to watch out for." -Regular Guy Reading Noir
