Fourmile

Resumen del libro

A gripping contemporary Southern story reminiscent of Shane and other classic Westerns.

Twelve-year-old Foster knows in his gut that Dax Ganey, the man dating his widowed mother, is an enemy. Then a mysterious stranger arrives at their Alabama farm, a former soldier in Iraq rambling across the country, and Foster believes he has found an ally against Dax. The stranger proves a fascinating mentor, full of wisdom and secrets. And Dax soon has reason to resent not just him and Foster but also Foster's mother. A spurned Dax will be a dangerous enemy, but Foster is increasingly aware that the stranger is just as dangerous, if not more so.

From the author of Alabama Moon, comes this tautly wound new novel about a boy caught in the middle of a clash that may turn out to be his own battle to fight.
