Descriere
Description"Immersive... Brutal... Primal..." KIRKUS Review "I struggled to put it down."Ever since his brother tried to murder him as a boy, Baer Creighton feels an electric tingle when people lie to him. He lives in the woods. Distills unrivaled moonshine, and limits contact to regular buyers, his niece Mae, and her three kids. It's a good life, sharing humor and philosophy with Fred, a back-sassin pit bull getting on in years. Until Fred goes missing, then arrives dumped in a ditch, a victim of a local dog fighting ring. Armed with a Smith & Wesson, audacity, and a moonshiner's know-how, Baer hunts the dog thief. Was it Cory Smylie, pothead son of the Gleason police chief-who resents Baer for making him treat Mae right?Or Baer's brother Larry? The real feud started not with the prank electrocution, but when Baer stole Ruth and Larry stole her back...Maybe it was Joe Stipe, or one of those lugnuts he keeps at his side like a private Secret Service? Stipe runs the dogfights, and a couple years ago tried to muscle Baer out of his stillin operation. Convinced justice must be proportional, Baer seeks the truth. But he tips his hand and begins a war of attrition against a cabal steeped in blood sport and thirsty for violence. With his niece in danger, the ex-love of his life Ruth missing-either dead or plotting against him-and all the town's finest trying to burn him down or shoot him on sight, Baer vows to bring a reckoning to every man present at the fight ring. Though vengeance doesn't come easy for Baer Creighton...It comes. And when you discover who stole Fred, you'll know you've found a new master of the dark surreal. Literary depth. Thriller pace.
