The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers- Thomas Mullen

This book had me completely sucked in in the first 5 pages, and I could not put it down! This is a work of historical fiction about a pair of depression era bank robbers, but with a twist. Great read! I would give this 5 stars and probably a PG rating. There are a couple of bad words, and some fairly violent things that happen.

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. At the start of Mullen's compelling second novel, set during the heyday of J. Edgar Hoover's war on crime in the 1930s, violent bank robbers Jason and Whit Fireson (aka the Firefly Brothers) wake up in an Indiana morgue, having miraculously survived bullet wounds that led the authorities to triumphantly announce their deaths. The pair escape and inform the third Fireson brother, Weston, and their mother, that they're alive. Meanwhile, the embarrassed local police report that ghouls stole Jason and Whit's corpses. This is but the first of a number of fantastic episodes in which the criminals cheat death, with no logical explanation. Despite the surrealism, Mullen (The Last Town on Earth) makes the despair of the Great Depression palpable, as his antiheroes become folk icons to the downtrodden people of the Midwest resentful of a government that can't help them
