Publisher's Summary:
The sun was rising over Moat County, Florida, when Sheriff Thurmond Call was found on the highway, gutted like an alligator. A local redneck was tried, sentenced, and set to fry.
Then Ward James, a hotshot investigative reporter for theMiami Times, returns to his rural hometown with a death row femme fatale who promises him the story of the decade. Shes armed with explosive evidence and aims to free - and meet - her convicted fiancé.
With Wards disillusioned younger brother Jack as their driver, they barrel down Floridas back roads and seamy places in search of the story, racing flat out into a shocking head-on collision between character and fate as truth takes a backseat to headline news.

Critic Reviews:
An eerie and beautiful novel. Its secrets continue to reveal themselves long after the book has been finished. (New York Times)
[Dexter] has written as sparsely here as in any of his previous books, and most of what carries the reader along so irresistibly lies beneath the surface of his prose.New York Times
With clarity and an amazing capacity for simplicity of language and down-home metaphor, Dexter weaves a tale that exposes the extremes of goodness and nastiness that exist in newspaper life.Washington Post
