New money alters the distribution of power within the Caskey family and across the town.
As part of Michael McDowell's Blackwater sequence, this volume connects prosperity with new forms of dependence. Choose it as a continuation of the saga, watching who gains freedom and who acquires new obligations. The unsettling element sits beside recognisable family manoeuvring rather than replacing it.
For readers who like speculative premises with a darker or unsettling edge.
