He built a church van to make people disappear. Now a girl from his youth group has vanished, and the network he made to save people is the only thing that can hunt.
Pastor Amos Redding has kept two things quiet for nine years in Halloran County, Texas: a military file the government sealed before he was ordained, and a twenty-two-year-old Ford that leaves the chapel lot on Wednesday nights carrying people the town has agreed not to see.
Then seventeen-year-old Marisol Ibarra - the girl who runs the sound board and doesn?t believe half of what he preaches - walks up to a locked gate at a labor camp on the Bitterwater Highway and asks a grown man who signs the checks.
Five days later she is inside a second fence, held as collateral by men waiting for an answer from an office in Odessa. The sheriff has four deputies and one of them is nineteen. The federal agent working the case needs eight months and three witnesses. Marisol has as long as she is useful.
Amos has seven days, a congregation of two hundred, and a talent he swore to God he would never use again - a talent that has never once cost him a night?s sleep in the moment of it.
What?s inside:
- A lean, sun-bleached desert noir told across seven days on a west Texas highway
- A vigilante hero who is genuinely dangerous - and a novel that refuses to let him off the hook
- A congregation that would forgive him instantly, for exactly the wrong reasons
- The sermon he writes at four in the morning all week and never gets to preach, running as an interstitial through the book
- A seventeen-year-old with real agency who investigates the case herself, at ten cents a page, in a public library
- Spare dialogue, hard atmosphere, and a moral argument with actual teeth
- A complete standalone story - no cliffhanger, no series required
- Book club discussion questions and an author?s note on how these crimes really work
