Description
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 the Miami Times, returns to his rural hometown with a death row femme fatale who promises him the story of the decade. She's armed with explosive evidence and aims to free—and meet—her convicted "fianc+®."
With Ward's disillusioned younger brother Jack as their driver, they barrel down Florida's 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.

Dennis Lehane and Pete Dexter write frank, menacing stories featuring broken characters who struggle to survive, against vividly evoked, gritty settings that explore the roots of violence and its aftermath. With scathing irony and haunting brutality, the authors examine how society creates and acquiesces to the deeds of monsters. -- NoveList Contributor
