A blistering crime novel of the opioid epidemic - and its cops, villains, and victims - written by a 25-year veteran of the DEA.
Angel, Kentucky: Just another one of America's forgotten places, where opportunities vanished long ago, and the opioid crisis has reached a fever pitch. When this small town is rocked by the vicious killing of an entire infamous local crime family, the bloody aftermath brings together three people already struggling with Angel's drug epidemic: Trey, a young medic-in-training with secrets to hide; Special Agent Casey Alexander, a DEA agent who won't let the local law or small-town way of doing things stand in her way; and Paul Mayfield, a former police chief who's had to watch his own young wife succumb to addiction.
Over the course of 24 hours, loyalties are tested, the corrupt are exposed, and the horrible truth of the largest drug operation in the region is revealed. And though Angel will never be the same again, a lucky few may still find hope.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Scott, a 25-year veteran of the DEA, writes with authority about the drug crisis. Don Winslow fans won’t want to miss this wrenching thriller." (Publishers Weekly)
“Scott pushes his narrative to its wild conclusion in rich, organic prose.” (Booklist)
“This grim, gritty novel captures the feeling of hopelessness that the opioid epidemic brings…Well-told but raw as an open wound and not for the squeamish.” (Kirkus Reviews)

I'm from a small Southern town where addiction and poverty are a way of life, and I'm used to the convoluted relationships and "2 degrees of separation" lifestyle. However, it seems the author was deliberately withholding information needed to picture the characters and interactions. In real life it would take years to learn who does drugs with whom, who sleeps with whom, who is the baby's daddy, events that happened in the town, etc. However, I don't expect to be fed tiny pieces of this type of stuff throughout a book, only finding out what the current character knows or feels like disclosing. It felt manipulative, and at the end made me want to start over and read the book knowing who all the characters are and how they're related to each other.
Even with the confusion of all the characters and the information gaps, I was headed for rating the book a 4 until the last section, which is from the POV of Paul, the former Sherrif and recent widower. That section of the book was overly wordy and morose. Paul wallowed in self-pity and long boring flashbacks and the narrator slowed his speaking pace making it even worse. It was impossible to relate to any of Paul's actions-past or present, and I was ready for the book to be over.
