Publisher's Summary

When Althea Leary abandons her nine-year-old son, Jasper, he's left on his uncle's farm with nothing but a change of clothes and a Bible.

It's 1952, and Jasper isn't allowed to ask questions or make a fuss. He's lucky to even have a home and must keep his mouth shut and his ears open to stay in his uncle's good graces. No one knows where his mother went or whether she's coming back. Desperate to see her again, he must take matters into his own hands. From the farm, he embarks on a treacherous search that will take him to the squalid hideaways of Detroit and back again, through tawdry taverns, peep shows, and gambling houses.

As he's drawn deeper into an adult world of corruption, scandal, and murder, Jasper uncovers the shocking past still chasing his mother - and now it's chasing him too.

Such a well written book!

Loved this book and the first book by this author, the "Dead Key". I like that the characters are not perfect and that it reveals the story going back and forth between the past and present

grim

This was misery lit masquerading as a mystery/thriller. I didn't hate it- the plot was actually very interesting, and the writing was fine, but wow, it was relentlessly grim. Anything awful that could happen to a person...
