In this Southern thriller inspired by a chilling true story, 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 granddaughter, Joanna, raising her with as much warmth as can be found in an Ozark junkyard outfitted to be an armory. He teaches her how to shoot and fight, but there is not enough training in the world to protect her when the dreaded Ledfords, notorious meth dealers and fanatical white supremacists, come to collect on Joanna as payment for a long-overdue blood debt.
Headed by rancorous patriarch Bunn and smooth-talking, erudite Evail, the Ledfords have never forgotten what the Fitzjurls family did to them, and they will not be satisfied until they have taken an eye for an eye. As they seek revenge, and as Jeremiah desperately searches for his granddaughter, their narratives collide in this immersive story about family and how far some will go to honor, defend—or in some cases, destroy it.

the life out what was, at some times considered middle

Sometimes, when authors choose to narrate their own works, it’s not a road to be taken, but this narration was surprisingly good by the author. Kudos.

Sweet, delicious Southern noir! This was dark, twisty and jagged. The tension builds as the story switchbacks from one POV to another, sometimes jumping backwards to replay events and obscure the big picture. I was at the edge of my seat, worried that this would go too far into genres or plots that cross my lines. Thankfully, even though there’s drugs, racism, trafficking, military PTSD, and a dog eat dog** vicious cycle, this wasn’t violence for the sake of violence. If you can handle the True Detective series or the movie Taken, then you can handle this book.
“Colt remembered how they’d lain in silence … how the world had come back to him in stages …
his vision, and finally his sense of smell, a saline mixture of the lower latitudes.”
I was mightily impressed by this author’s prose, which, combined with his own narration set the mood perfectly. Were there some inconsistencies? Sure. The idea that someone could escape peril, get back to town, and not immediately call family or police was particularly hard to swallow. Were some of the twists predictable? Also, yes. But, people do crazy things in real life, so I’ll make allowances for the sake of setting up a good finale.
“There’s always one in the chamber.”
This book hangs on the exhale. Bloody good.
**This last warning is literal, as dogs hurt each other and are hurt by humans.
If you’re the kind of listener who loves human blood and gore, but is aghast if someone kicks a puppy,
then you should pass on this book.
