Wade disappeared on us when I was nine years old, and then he showed up out of nowhere the year I turned twelve...

After their mother unexpectedly dies, Easter Quilby and her six-year-old sister, Ruby, are stolen away from their foster home by the father they haven't seen in years.

Brady Weller, their court-appointed guardian, goes after them, suspecting Wade of having taken part in a recent high-profile robbery. But he's not the only one on their tail, as Robert Pruitt, a mercurial and deadly hunter, is determined to get to them first and claim his due.

'Exciting and suspenseful as well as moving, with a captivating heroine, this is a tremendous book.' Laura Wilson, Guardian
