Thriller
In May of 1934, outside of Hugo, Oklahoma, a homeless man
and his thirteen-year-old daughter are befriended by a
charismatic drifter, newly released from the federal
penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas. The drifter, Clint
Palmer, lures father and daughter to Texas, where the
father, Dillard Garrett, mysteriously disappears, and where
his daughter Lucile begins a one-year ordeal as Palmer's
captive on a crime spree-culminating in the notorious
Greenville, Texas "skeleton murder" trial of 1935. C. Joseph Greaves weaves a chilling tale of survival and
redemption, encompassing iconic landscapes, historic
figures, America's last Indian uprising, and one of the most
celebrated criminal trials of the Public Enemy era, all
rooted in the intensely personal story of a young girl's
coming of age in a world as cruel as it is beautiful.
