Blurb: 
Nominated for the PEN/Faulkner Award, 1990 Wade Whitehouse, divorced, estranged from his young daughter, spends his days as a well-driller, snow-plow operator, and policeman, his nights in a wind-swept trailer park. But when a union boss is killed in an apparent hunting accident near Wade"s home, and he is convinced that it is murder, he seizes the event as a chance to right many wrongs -- unaware that as he unravels the mystery he himself will become unravelled. Soon his hunger for justice and self-respect become inseparable from a desperate violence.
