Synopsis

★★★★★ "The story grabbed my throat and wouldn't let go, wouldn't let me scream either."
Grace Hardgrave's daughters haven't eaten in days, and after finding no work in 1917 New York City, Grace meets a man in a grocery's back room and prostitutes herself to feed her girls. Sick of degradation, Grace bolts for the Pennsylvania farm she fled as a young woman. The only way forward is to face the predator who made her life go wrong.
But when Grace arrives she finds the Hardgrave/McClellan feud that's been smoldering for generations is now a full-blown war. Jonah McClellan, the seven-foot tyrant who runs the town brothels and distilleries, found his youngest son bludgeoned to death on Hardgrave land. 
Grace's coward brother Hoot is ready to run, but as Grace unwinds the mystery of the boy's murder, she discovers everyone's hiding a secret, and McClellan's plans are far more sinister than killing Hardgrave livestock and running the family from the land. 
Grace has more mettle than her brother. She's as smart as Jonah is sadistic, as brave as he is brutal. 
A woman with everything to lose. A man who kills to hide his secret. Neither will know peace while the other is alive. Literary depth, thriller pace.
