Description
Trapped in the small, unforgiving world of Cashiers, North Carolina, Jacob McNeely lives under the shadow of his father’s rule—until the past begins to surface in ways he can’t outrun. In a country-noir landscape where beauty and brutality share the same breath, three lives collide as old traumas, buried choices, and inherited loyalties shape what each character dares to become. As Jacob searches for a path toward redemption, the novel asks what we carry through life, how it governs our decisions, and what it costs to try to set it down. With the grit of Winter’s Bone and the momentum of Breaking Bad, David Joy delivers a savage, lyrical debut that turns survival into a reckoning.
