From a New York Times bestselling author, a war-weary soldier jumps from a moving freight train to avoid trouble–and lands in more than he bargained for.

On the day Thatcher Hutton arrives in Foley, Texas, a local woman goes missing. Thatcher becomes the prime suspect. Standing between him and exoneration are a corrupt mayor, a crooked sheriff, and a young widow named Laurel Plummer.

As violence erupts, Thatcher and Laurel find themselves on opposite sides of a moonshine war, where blood flows as freely as whiskey.

Includes a Reading Group Guide.

Genre:

“Set in 1920, this superior thriller from bestseller Brown firmly anchors all the action in the plot . . . Laurel and Thatcher are strong and inventive characters, and their surprising decisions and evolving relationship will keep readers engaged. Brown shows why she remains in the top rank of her field.”
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Brown doesn’t often delve into historical fiction territory, but she does here with gusto, and readers will practically taste the dusty streets of Foley and feel every rickety bump of the moonshiners’ trucks. There are shoot-outs and reformed prostitutes and a no-good hillbilly family, but none of it feels like an empty stereotype—it’s just all a lot of fun. Combined with Brown’s knack for romantic tension and page-turning suspense, this one is a winner.”
Booklist, Starred Review
"A masterful storyteller."
USA Today
"Brown deserves her own genre."
Dallas Morning News
"A novelist who can't write them fast enough."
San Antonio Express-News
"One of the best thriller writers around, period."
Providence Journal
