Two brothers in a small Midwestern town, one the high school's beloved football coach on the verge of a state championship, one scraping by as a bail bondsman, whose sister was abducted and murdered when they were teenagers have been divided since that day. Now a new killing with ties to each of them has forced a painful and adversarial reunion. In a masterful return to mystery fiction, Michael Koryta has written a deeply haunting and suspenseful novel.
