“Probing, heartbreaking…O’Dell’s portrait of Zoschenko is deep and penetrating, but even more moving is her portrayal of the coal-town community…This is a fierce, sharply drawn and richly sympathetic tribute to working-class America.”

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

With her eagerly awaited second novel, Tawni O'Dell takes readers back to the coal-mining country of western Pennsylvania. Set in a town ravaged and haunted by a mine explosion that took the lives of 96 men, Coal Run explores the life of local deputy and erstwhile football legend, "The Great Ivan Z.," as he prepares for a former teammate's imminent release from prison. As the week unfolds and Ivan struggles to confront his demons, he reveals himself to be a man whose conscience is burdened by a long-held and shocking secret.
