At the tail end of 1967, the Parker family once again finds
it impossible to hide from a world spinning out of control.
Fourteen-year-old Top still can't fit in with their Center
Springs, Texas, community or forget recent, vicious crimes.
His near-twin cousin Pepper, desperate to escape her own
demons, rashly joins the Flower Children flocking to
California―just as two businessmen are kidnapped and
murdered in the Red River bottoms on the same night a deadly
hit and run kills a farmer.
Constable Ned Parker wonders if these crimes are connected,
but he goes after Pepper, leaving the investigation in the
hands of Sheriff Cody Parker. Parker hires Deputy Anna
Sloan, an investigator with an eye toward detail as everyone
is eyeing her.
Yet it is instinct that propels her after killers through a
world nearly forgotten, the hunt’s backdrop one of
continuous rain, gloomy skies, and floods. When she’s
ambushed, the investigation accelerates into gunfire,
chases, and hair-raising suspense.
What of Pepper? Out on Route 66, the Mother Road to
California, a man named Crow isn't what he seems. Lies,
deceptions, and a band of outlaw motorcyclists proves to the
Parkers that no matter where you turn, no matter what you
do, the world is full of such darkness that even
grandmothers are capable of unspeakable deeds.
