The “extraordinary” debut novel (Newsweek) from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Independence Day tells the story of two godless pilgrims who converge on an uncharted island in the Mississippi. • “One of those books that hit you hard.” —Houston Chronicle

Robard Hewes has driven across the country in the service of a destructive passion. Sam Newell is seeking the missing piece of himself. When these men come together, each discovers the thing he’s looking for—amid a conflagration of violence that’s as shocking as it is inevitable.

“It’s power is mysterious and unmistakable…. Extraordinary.” —Newsweek

“This is one of those books that hit you hard…a story filled with breathing characters and genius-crafted dialogue between moments of consummate description…. I can’t be unbiased. I’m mad for this book.” —Houston Chronicle
