When Marybeth Huston went missing into a tailspin goes the lives of our central cast of characters in what is JW Lollar's 13th novel. The aging passive Sheriff Gaines Huxley, who has never been much of a "policeman" finds himself unraveling the disappearance thus putting himself in a danger he's never known. A man name of Macavoy begins a vigilante justice on whom he thinks is involved beginning with Marybeth's ex boyfriend, a shady individual, and his nephew. Intricately woven stories pluck as ripe as a swollen tick full of blood with murderous prose and soaking in the fabric of depression as JW Lollar drags us by our necks through the brutal grime of the streets and into the unspeakable perversions of Mexican murderfilms we find ourselves not even a moment to breathe. In the times of wolves dogs don't exist.
