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.

Cranor's second Southern Noir novel pivots around two families and the impact of the killing of one family's thieving child, let's call them the meth cookers, by the child of the other, the junkyard owners. The novel is set 16 years after the murder and kicks into gear with the abduction of the daughter of the now incarcerated killer. As in his previous novel, there are plenty of twists and turns and blindsides . It is however again the unique descriptive writing style of Cranor which makes the novel so special. It's pure fast paced poetry.
