It is the time of the Great Depression.

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?

Synopsis

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?

Antonio Gonzalez , June 08, 2017 (view all comments by Antonio Gonzalez)
This was an impressive debut novel. It has some of the typical debut novel problems, prose is a little purple, but overall there's the kind of necessary restraint in the writing needed to build tension. The author didn't try to pull any cheap tricks,he signaled his twist and followed through. His later books are very much improved but it's cool to see that he was concentrating on the fundamentals with his first novel.
