A trade paperback edition (2017) in Good condition — some wear, but a strong reading copy with solid resale appeal.
When eleven-year-old Polly McClusky's father, Nate, is released from prison, he kills a member of the Aryan Steel gang and sets off a chain of violent retribution. With a price on his head and his daughter in tow, Nate must keep Polly alive as they flee across California. What follows is a brutal, fast-paced journey through America's underbelly — a story of survival, family, and the lessons violence teaches.
Rated 3.9/5 on Goodreads from 3,800+ ratings — "Raw, gritty, and unforgettable — Harper writes with cinematic intensity."
Popular with readers who love gritty crime-noir, on-the-run survival tension, and the unexpected tenderness of a father-daughter bond forged under fire. Harper's dark, poetic prose and morally complex characters make this a standout in modern noir.
Perfect for fans of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Dennis Lehane's Mystic River, or Don Winslow's The Power of the Dog. A strong pairing with other noir thrillers for a Dark Crime Fiction bundle.
