A retired sheriff and his wife go after their young grandson in "a fast-paced story of marital love, family violence and small-town justice" (Pioneer Press).

It's been years since George and Margaret Blackledge lost their son James, and months since his widow, Lorna, took off with their only grandson and married Donnie Weboy. Margaret is resolved to find and retrieve the boy -- while George is none too eager to stir up trouble. Soon, the Blackledges find themselves entangled with the entire Weboy clan, who are determined not to give up the boy without a fight.

The author of Montana 1948 returns to big sky country in midcentury America with a riveting novel pervaded with a sense of menace that "traces the desperate lengths families will go to in order to protect their own" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

"Watson evokes the deepest kind of suspense: that based upon the fact that humans are unpredictable and perhaps ultimately unknowable -- even to their most intimate associates. This fierce, tense book is beautifully written, with spare and economical prose... A brilliant achievement." -- Alice LaPlante, New York Times-bestselling author of Turn of Mind

"An outstanding work that is sure to expand Watson's audience of devoted readers. Not to be missed." -- Library Journal (starred review)
