Left for dead, Bob Rugg is determined to get his young teenage daughter back after a group of Mexican highway carjackers abduct her in broad daylight. Holm\u2019s crisp prose brilliantly depicts Bob\u2019s simmering grief, raw anger, and utter desperation as well as young Rayo\u2019s struggles to survive in his harsh environment. The stakes run high, and the reader will long for a neat resolution. Profound in its deliberations and extremely gripping, the unsettling, dark novel will stay with the reader for long after it\u2019s finished. Fans of Cormac McCarthy should feel right at home.
