 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILBUR SMITH ADVENTURE WRITING PRIZE 2018

'A great, gripping story, ferociously well-written, with characters that live and breathe' STEF PENNEY, bestselling author of Under a Pole Star

Tim Harding has spent the fishing season in Canada working as a deckhand, making an honest living. When his hot-headed younger brother tracks him down at the shipyards in Vancouver, Tim senses trouble. Jake is a drifter, a dreamer, an ex-con, and now he needs help in repaying a debt to the notorious Delaney gang.

So begins an epic, unpredictable odyssey across land and sea as the brothers journey down to the Delaney’s ranch in the U.S., chased by customs officials, freak storms and the gnawing feeling that their luck is about to run out. But while they may be able to outrun the law, there’s no escaping the ghosts of their tragic family past and neither is prepared for who and what awaits at the other end…

Critic reviews

"Keevil's writing is unmissable...quite simply a brilliant writer." (Viv Groskop, author of The Anna Karenina Fix)
"A tender and at turns thrilling novel about grief and the way it seeps unshakably into the lives of the living. Keevil's storytelling is both elegant and meaty and his prose stunning as per; I could almost taste the bitter sea air of Vancouver's North Shore." (Racjel Trsize, author of Fresh Apples)
"Quite a story. Keevil's prose proceeds with the laconic madness of a patient horse, and the same ability to buck and kick." (Cyan Jones, author of The Dig)

I've read his other work and loved Drive but this story is something else. Keevil's writing has always be well constructed but the plot is also excellently well paced with plot twists I never saw coming and an ending that made me smile.
