More DescriptionJenny Siler's internationally successful debut novel. Siler's intensely vivid writing packs some punch. She's looking for the truth in a place where there are no easy answers-- only deadly secrets€¦ The daughter of a Florida drug runner, Alison Kerry lives from day to day, in seedy motels, surviving on cigarettes, Wild Turkey, and the adrenaline rush of danger. Allie is a runner and her latest job should go down easy: easy pickup, easy payoff-- easy money. But in a bar outside Seattle, everything goes horribly wrong. Allie finds her contact with a bullet in his brain-- and a government-issued Colt in his jacket. Suddenly Allie has a killer on her trail, and the computer disk he killed for burning a hole in her pocket. For Allie, it's a cross-country journey through the Cascade Mountains to the winding back roads of Montana and into the darkest corners of a country's secret history. Because somewhere between the killing fields of Vietnam and the wide-open heartlands of America, a horrifying truth is buried. A truth about a people, a war, and one woman's past. A truth Allie may not survive...€Œa triumphant debut€¥€"Publishers Weekly €ŒOnce in a blue moon, a new writer speaks up in a voice that gets your attention like a rifle shot.
