“A dark gritty slice of Rural Noir that goes down smooth but has a hell of a kick like a strong shot of high quality bourbon.”
—S.A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author
ONE OF GOODREADS' 2025 BIGGEST MYSTERIES & THRILLERS!
ONE OF BOOK RIOT'S 2025 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR SO FAR!
An organized crime boss in Kentucky believes money and power are everything until his enterprise collides with a family tragedy in this gripping noir thriller perfect for fans of S.A. Cosby and Eli Cranor.
Cannabis kingpin Burl Spoon has reigned over the Jackson County area for three decades, building a powerful backwoods empire. But behind a well-run organization, his personal life is crumbling–his daughter can’t stay clean; his son has hated him since coming out; and after enduring years of infidelity, his wife is straying too. The only person not on his payroll who still adores him is his six-year-old granddaughter, Chelsea.
When his daughter overdoses on heroin laced with fentanyl and one of his employees is murdered, Burl’s retaliation against Clovis Begley, the patriarch of the heroin-dealing family involved in both deaths, is inevitable. As Burl’s plan spirals into a firestorm of vengeance that threatens the safety of his granddaughter, his drive for revenge conflicts with his longing for redemption.
On the brink of losing everything, Burl must find a path between retribution and protecting what’s left of his family.
