About this audiobook
In this Southern thriller two families grapple with the aftermath of a murder in their small Arkansas town.
After his son is convicted of capital murder, Vietnam War veteran Jeremiah Fitzjurls takes over the care of his teenage granddaughter, Joanna, raising her with as much warmth as can be found in an Arkansas junkyard. He teaches her how to shoot and fight, but when the girl
goes missing, Jeremiah fears the dreaded Ledfords, fanatical white supremacists and notorious meth dealers, have finally come to collect a long-overdue blood debt.
Loaded to the hilt with weapons from his past, Jeremiah sets his sights on the last person who saw his granddaughter: her new boyfriend, Colt. With the young Romeo in tow, Jeremiah plunges headlong into the heart of the Ozarks, but Jeremiah isn’t the only one with an
arsenal of secrets—the star-crossed couple has been hiding something too.
Eli Cranor, author of the critically acclaimed Don’t Know Tough, brings his ferocious storytelling power and deep knowledge of his native Arkansas to this unforgettable Southern noir about family and how far some will go to honor, defend, or—in some cases—destroy it.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A little slow to start but it picked up and turned up to be really well done. I did not like the dogs I did not like the treatment of the dogs and the juxtaposition of the granddaughter to the grandfather was an obvious light to the dark. I did want to know more about Colt and what happened to him and where that went and how he even came to be the brother when we didn't think he was that whole thing was confusing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Imagine a gritter more complex and realistic version of Stephen Hunter's Boblee Swagger dropped into a setting that fully has you expecting a cameo by Ace Atkins Quinn Coleson or Taylor Moore's Garret Kohl.
Addictive, haunting and viseral. This is what a Southern novel should be.
