In a follow up to 'Heartwood' and Edgar-Award-winning 'Cimarron Rose', America's finest crime writer pitches his hero Billy Bob Holland deep into Montana - Paradise to some, to others a savage wilderness.
'John Steinbeck once said Montana is a love affair. If a person was going to make his troth with any particular place on earth, I don't think he could find a better one than the stretch of road I was now on. Every bridge crossed a postcard stream, every mountain tumbled into one higher and a deeper green than itself.'
But in the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana, the love affair has a violent side, as ex-Texas Ranger turned lawyer, Billy Bob discovers when he goes fishing with his friend from Vietnam days, Doc Voss. Doc's daughter Maisey is brutally gang-raped and beaten by bikers.
Ring leader Lamar Ellison walks free when the DNA samples "get lost" and Billy Bob wonders whose side the sheriff is on? Then Ellison is burned alive and Doc is arrested. So much for Billy Bob's vacation - Doc needs a lawyer, and fast. Not only that: newly released killer Wyatt Dixon has tracked Billy Bob to Montana, bent on avenging the death of his sister for which he holds Billy Bob responsible.
The grotesque Wyatt, "like a virus that immediately recognises the antibodies in an immune system as its enemy", is only one thread of a tangled web of evil that includes neo-Nazi militias, gold miners who tip cyanide into the rivers, a paedophile ring and the Mob. As the corpses of the guilty and innocent pile up, Billy Bob stands alone.
