To escape his troubled past, Norman heads to the desert to lose
himself in his work. He has just received a research grant to study
the ghost towns and abandoned mines that litter the landscape. But
when he comes across a group of desert-dwelling outcasts and is
taken captive by their charismatic leader Jacoby, he is introduced
to an alternative way of life: one that both repulses and
mesmerizes. As he struggles to make sense of this strange new world
– with its perverse and unorthodox practices – Norman begins to
realize he must either yield to the ever-watchful Jacoby, or take
his chances and run. Ireland’s refined and sparse style cuts
through to the dark heart of the American dream in this chilling
novel about the thin lines that separate the civilized from the
primitive, and the living from the dead.
