From the acclaimed author of two New York Times Notable books comes a gripping mystery written with “**subtle but emotionally wrenching prose” (Kirkus Reviews).
When the body of a young woman is found in a river bed in Black Canyon City, Arizona, Deputy Sheriff Sam Rush starts an investigation that will lead him deep into the murky psychological of identity.
Sam must confront the Aspenalls family, who may have had something to do with the murder. There’s Nate, with whom the young woman was involved, and fourteen-year-old Travis, who suddenly has everything he thought he knew thrown into question.
The murder investigation takes Sam north to the city of Winslow and brings Nate home to Black Canyon City while Travis struggles to grow up. But with a victim whose haphazard life put her in danger, nothing about the case is what it seems in this “intelligent literary whodunit” (Publishers Weekly).
“Troy’s subtle but emotionally wrenching prose raises deeply provocative questions about loyalty, morality, human frailty and the power of choice.” —*KirkusReviews*
“The prose has a poetic sensibility that allows the novel to transcend the mystery genre.” —Publishers Weekly
