"Skip Yellowstone for this rawer version of the West."-- The New York Times Book Review "This
taut compelling novel explores the great outdoors--and a realm of moral uncertainty. . . . A
ferociously gripping book."-- The Economist Two brothers in dire straits living on the edge of
Yellowstone agree to a desperate act of survival in this taut propulsive novel reminiscent of
the works of C.J. Box Donald Ray Pollock and Larry McMurtry. In an aging timber house
hand-built into the Absaroka-Beartooth mountains two brothers are struggling to keep up with
their debts. They live off the grid on the fringe of Yellowstone surviving off the wild after
the death of their father. Thad the elder is more capable of engaging with things like the
truck registration or the medical bills they can't afford from their father's fatal illness
or the tax lien on the cabin their grandfather built while Hazen is . . . different more
instinctual deeply in tune with the natural world. Desperate for money they are approached by
a shadowy out-of-towner with a dangerous proposition that will change both of their lives
forever. Beartooth is a fast-paced tale with moments of surprising poignancy set in the
grandeur of the American West. Evoking the timeless voices of American pastoral storytelling
this is a bracing masterful novel about survival revenge and the bond between brothers.
