DEEP RIVER BLUES

Social arrangements at Glad Earth Farm are apparently so informal that it’s hard for Sheriff Cordell McRae to even find out the last name of 20-year-old Zoe Chandler, a member of the commune found floating in the French Broad River. In fact Levon Gladson runs the place with an iron fist, maintaining his unchallenged authority over his followers and the harem of women he labels Magdalenes when he posts intimate footage of them on a website that charges an entrance fee. Levon and meth kingpin Thornton Reevers would be formidable adversaries for Cord even if he weren’t struggling with his fondness for home-brewed liquor and his string of broken promises to his wife, Lucinda, and their son, Blu. As Cord gradually realizes, however, fault lines have erupted not only between the faithful disciples at Glad Earth and the local drug dealers, but also within the commune itself. The death of a hotheaded veteran and his farmer father both mark and inflame the passions that swirl around the town of Falston until it seems that everyone Cord runs into is capable of shocking violence toward everyone else.
