Description

In the sweltering, untamed landscape of early 20th-century Florida, a dark legend takes root around the enigmatic figure of Edgar J. Watson. This sweeping novel delves into the life and violent death of a man whose story is told and retold, each version casting a different light on his character and the community that ultimately judged him. Through a masterful blend of historical fact and fictional exploration, the narrative unearths themes of justice, myth-making, and the enduring power of the land.
