Raised on blood, secrets, and survival, Delia spent her childhood on her grandmother's pig farm but it's the place she swore she'd never return to. Now, ten years later, grief drags her back to the only home that ever truly claimed her.
Delia returns to the farm after her grandmother's death, the last heir to a quiet legacy of rural vengeance. Isolated, grim, and fiercely loyal to the rules that shaped her, she intends to keep to herself. But word travels. And women start to come. Some desperate, some dangerous asking the question she thought was buried with the past:
"Do you still take care of problems?"
As Delia begins to clean up after men the law won't touch, she's forced to confront her inheritance both the brutal, clear-eyed justice her grandmother taught her and the deep, festering rot it's grown into. When a teenage girl begs to be taken in, and a persistent investigator starts circling, Delia must decide if she'll burn it all down or raise the next generation.
