Jamie Quatro’s latest novel - “Two-Step Devil” - wrestles with good and evil, what’s real and what’s supernatural, on the edges of life here in Chattanooga and this corner of the Southeast.

On Tuesday, the literary nonprofit SoLit hosts the launch for Jamie’s book tour with a reading and a conversation, at The Granfalloon starting at 7 PM.

I spoke with Jamie - and Chelsea Risley, SoLit’s executive director, who says readers familiar with Chattanooga will spot more than a few recognizable references in the novel.
