Official synopsis Publisher
In this lyrically written, hauntingly seductive novel, Bret Lott brings to life the beauty and flavor of the mist-covered swamps and backlands of South Carolina’s Lowcountry in a story that is both mystery and rite of passage.
At fifteen, Huger (“you say it YOU-gee”) Dillard already knows a great deal about the ways of the world–or so he thinks. He may not have a father, but with the guidance of his blind “Unc,” Leland, and weekends spent at the Hunt Club–a tract of woods and swamp belonging to his family–Huger knows all about the land and the habits of its wildlife, from deer to the pompous Charleston doctors and lawyers who come to hunt them. But nothing can prepare him for the dark events that begin to unfold when he and Unc stumble upon the body of a well-to-do Charleston regular on their land.
Who wanted him dead? And why is the Hunt Club suddenly at the heart of a dark secret worth killing for? Caught in a treacherous labyrinth that stretches deep into the past, Huger and everyone he loves are about to discover painful truths that will irrevocably change them; truths that will shatter a young boy’s innocence and test him as a man.
