Synopsis

***THE TIMES BEST THRILLERS OF THE MONTH***
*** MAIL ON SUNDAY BEST NEW FICTION***
***FINANCIAL TIMES BEST NEW THRILLERS***

''A gritty, authentic triumph, one howling to be turned into a film or TV series'' FINANCIAL TIMES
''Atmospheric and tense thriller that has TV series written all over it.'' THE SUN
''Eli Cranor is that rare writer who can make you gasp, cry and cheer often in the same paragraph'' S. A. COSBY

After his son is convicted of murder, Vietnam War veteran Jeremiah Fitzjurls takes over the care of his granddaughter, Joanna, raising her with as much warmth as can be found in an Ozark junkyard outfitted to be an armory.

He teaches her how to shoot and fight, but there is not enough training in the world to protect her when the dreaded Ledfords, notorious meth dealers and fanatical white supremacists, come to collect on Joanna as payment for a long-overdue blood debt.

Headed by rancorous patriarch Bunn and smooth-talking, erudite Evail, the Ledfords have never forgotten what the Fitzjurls family did to them, and they will not be satisfied until they have taken an eye for an eye. As they seek revenge, and as Jeremiah desperately searches for his granddaughter, their narratives collide in this immersive story about family and how far some will go to honor, defend-or in some cases, destroy it.

''Ozark Dogs tunnels into your brain with feverish power... thrillingly told, deeply wrenching, not to be missed.'' MEGAN ABBOTT
