We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker
A literate sort of mystery where everyone is damaged. Vincent goes to jail for accidentally killing his girlfriend Star's sister. Years later Vincent's best friend, Walk is the town sheriff on the eve of Vincent returning to town. Star has two kids Duchess and Robin. Star is a drunk. Duchess is an outlaw at 13. Robin is an angel boy.
After Vincent leaves prison, Star is murdered and Vincent is the main suspect. There are plenty of other subplots going as well. Everyone has an agenda. The whole story is an exercise in sadness as more of the plot reveals itself.
Best of all set in a fictitious coastal town that is somewhere near Salinas, sort of.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
