Zupan's moving and (at times) violent first novel, are two men-a killer awaiting trial and a troubled young deputy-sitting across from each other in the dark, talking through the bars of a county jail cell: John Gload, so brutally adept at his craft that only now, at the age of seventy-one, has he faced the prospect of long-term incarceration, and Valentine Millimaki, low man in the Copper County sheriff's department, who draws the overnight shift after Gload's arrest, tasked with getting the killer to talk about a string of unsolved murders. With a disintegrating marriage now further collapsing under the strain of his night duty, and his safety threatened from within his own department, Millimaki finds himself seeking counsel from a remorseless criminal. The strange intimacy of their connection takes a startling turn with a brazen act of violence, a manhunt and a stunning revelation that leaves Gload's past and Millimaki's future forever entwined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781443425636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41091636723918,"sku":"9781443425636","price":16.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9781443425636.jpg?v=1649131120","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781443425636","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
