Description
In the sweltering Florida Everglades, the legacy of a notorious outlaw, 'Bloody' Watson, continues to haunt his sons years after his death. Lucius, an alcoholic historian, embarks on a desperate quest to uncover the truth about his father's life and violent end, grappling with the possibility that his father was indeed a murderer and an outlaw. This gripping narrative delves into the primal bonds of family, the corrosive nature of secrets, and the relentless pursuit of a past that refuses to stay buried. Matthiessen masterfully explores themes of identity, redemption, and the enduring power of myth in this profound examination of a fractured family.
