Seven men wait in Mervyn’s Mountain Bar, awaiting the arrival of
Tony Begley and his six-inch boning knife, Sweety. Ray ‘Ringo’
Wade hides above them in the rafters, silent and consumed by shame
as Jody, the only friend he’s ever known, lies beaten and bound
in the outhouse, waiting to meet his maker at the hands of the
bar’s raucous inhabitants. The reason for this bloody
retribution? Ray and Jody went and jacked over the one and only
William Walter Monroe – the man who took them in, for better or
worse, and single-handedly moulded Glasson County into a place
people could be proud of. To a man, they bear the mark of Cain, and
the acts of the past are never far from the present. Insulated from
the world by his shaky delusion, Ray Wade recounts the tale he has
no choice but to live with. A backwoods sinfonia of rough poetry
and black comedy about the love we give and the horror we visit
upon one other – and ourselves.
