Ozark dogs
by Eli Cranor
"After his son is convicted of capital 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 a 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 and intersect to provide a personal, gripping look into the reality of life in the Ozark Mountains. Eli Cranor, author of the critically acclaimed Don't Know Tough, drew from a murder in his Arkansas hometown to craft this atmospheric, immersive story about family and how far some will go to protect it, honor it-or in some cases-destroy it"
