Berry’s life experience played a major part in this book. A mill town is a different place. Having grown up in a mill town, my experiences are a bit similar to Berry’s which led to a lot of empathy for this book. Southern Republic Pulp and Paper, located in rural Georgia is keeping deadly secrets. The paternalistic facade hides ugly truths. Brent Walker, formerly working for the union, comes home to Concord to work for Southern. Hank Reed, his old best friend, is now a union opponent. Together the two find themselves embroiled in Southern Republic’s despicable secrets.
Berry does a good job on character development. Brent and Hank have depth and color. The major players on the other side demonstrate deplorable ethics which gives the plot a clear black and white perspective. There is no mixed emotions in this book, the bad guys are simply BAD!
I enjoyed the book and recommend it.
