About this book
"The story is set in northern California in the summer of 1949. Ed Crane (Billy Bob Thornton) is a barber, taciturn and dissatisfied with his life. His wife Doris (Frances McDormand) has been cheating on him with her boss Big Dave Brewster (James Gandolfini). When Ed meets a man seeking an investor for a laundromat chain, he decides to blackmail Big Dave anonymously, in order to get the money. But this small sin brings about grave consequences, as Ed soon finds the web he has spun drawing tighter around him."--BOOK JACKET.
