She has murdered their brother, and their cold lust for vengeance is unswerving. Two red-headed brothers, rifles across their backs, lurch close behind her: monstrous figures, identical in every way, with the predatory look of hyenas. Tearing through the forest with dogs howling in the distance, she is desperate, her nerves burning, and she is certain of one thing only - that her every move is being traced.
Mary Boulton is nineteen years old, half mad, and widowed - by her own hand. 'A remarkable first novel, full of verve, beautifully written, and with all the panache of a great adventure' Michael Ondaatje 'A superb adventure story' The Times On a moonlit night in 1903, a mysterious young woman flees alone across the Canadian wilderness, one quick step ahead of her pursuers. A brooding, compelling, fugitive-on-the-run story: shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, winner of the International Association of Crime Writers Dashiell Hammett Prize, nominated for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
