Discover Robert Jackson Bennett’s stunning debut, “set during the Great Depression and reading like a collaboration between Stephen King and John Steinbeck” (Publishers Weekly — starred review).

In the ruins of the Dust Bowl, thousands have left their homes looking for a better life, a new life. But Marcus Connelly is not one of them. He searches for one thing, and one thing only: Revenge.

Because out there, riding the rails, stalking the camps, is the scarred vagrant who murdered Connelly’s daughter.

One man must face a dark truth and answer the question — how much is he willing to sacrifice for his satisfaction?
