Synopsis
Loyalty Island is a small fishing community dependent on the Gaunt family fleet for survival. Each winter, Cal's father - a captain of the fleet - sets sail for Alaska to trawl for crab. Cal may be too young to join in their adventure, but he is old enough to know that everything depends on the fate of those few boats thousands of miles north. When the fleet's owner, John Gaunt, dies, he leaves the town's livelihood in peril. With winter fast approaching, Cal starts to suspect that his father may have taken extreme measures to save the fleet from extinction...Plagued by doubt, his loyalties strained and his moral compass in tatters, Cal is forced to make a terrible choice.

Review
Dybek brings serious talent to bear... [The novel] finishes on a powerful note of moral murkiness... Evocative. New York Times Finely crafted ... a taut novel juggling the sometimes conflicting impulses to do the moral thing, and to protect those we love Los Angeles Times Dybek has a gift for the atmospheric. The New Yorker An engrossing and exacting moral thriller. -- Peter Ho Davies, Author Of The Welsh Girl A thrilling yarn, delivered as if by a scarred man by the consoling light of a fire. The Economist An authentic, atmospheric, coming-of-age story with a painful dilemma ... A terrific debut. -- C. J. Box [An] engrossing, often haunting thriller. Washington Independent Review of Books
