Outside Dogs - Paperback

by Kevin Mellor (Author)

In a fractured America still bleeding from civil war, two boys move fast and light through hostile territory, leaving burned militia camps and rescued children in their wake.

Pascal never intended to join a crusade. He only followed Toma-a wiry, dead-eyed fifteen-year-old-because Toma saved his life, and Pascal wanted to see what happened next.

What happens next is a lot of killing.

In the river town of Sourwood, Gráinne Coughlin arrives with her father to help an old family friend solve a disappearance that has already left too many bodies behind. A missing boy. A vanished guardian. Survivors broken beyond repair. The deeper Gráinne digs, the less any of it feels possible.

Toma has a list. Every name on it belongs to someone who murdered his parents or profited from the years of abuse that followed. Now he and his growing band of strays, outcasts, and believers are crossing a ruined country to settle every debt.

All roads lead to Sourwood.

All debts come due on Black Friday.
