A Novel
A Western novel about violence as civic function—and what happens when the ground refuses to forget.
Read full description
The railroad never came to Anchor Point. There was no fire. No flood. No official notice. The line simply turned south, and the town was left standing where it had been promised something that never arrived.
When a federal clerk is sent west to reconcile an unresolved discrepancy in a railroad survey, he discovers a place that was never destroyed—only bypassed. What follows is not an investigation, but a reckoning with what it means to correct a record when the truth refuses to close.
