Like No Country for Old Men and Snow Falling on Cedars, a haunting,
suspenseful, and dazzlingly written novel of secrets, corruption,
tragedy, and vengeance from the author of Crazy Heart-the basis of
the 2009 Academy Award-winning film-an electrifying crime drama and
psychological thriller in which a young cop becomes the focal point
for a community's grief and rage in the aftermath of a tragic
accident. Out on a rural highway on a cold, icy night, Patrolman
Ronny Forbert sits in his cruiser trying to keep warm and make time
pass until his shift ends. Then a familiar beater Jeep Cherokee
comes speeding over a hill, forcing the rookie cop to chase after
it. The driver is his old friend turned nemesis, Matt Laferiere,
the rogue son of a man as beaten down as the town itself. Within
minutes, what begins as a clear-cut arrest for drunk driving
spirals out of control into a heated argument between two young men
with a troubled past and ends in a fatal hit and run on an icy
stretch of blacktop. As the news spreads around town, Police Chief
Gordy Hawkins remains certain that Ronny Forbert followed the
rules, at least most of them, and he's willing to stand by the
young cop. But a few manipulative people in town see opportunity in
the tragedy. As uneasy relationships, dark secrets, and old
grievances reveal themselves, the people of this small, tightly
woven community decide that a crime must have been committed, and
someone-Officer Ronny Forbert-must pay a price, a choice that will
hold devastating consequences for them all.
