Description

'Literary thrillers just don't come any better than this' Richard Russo

Sometimes your ancestors breathe through you. Sometimes, they call for vengeance...

Babs Dionne, doting grandmother, and vicious crime matriarch, rules her small town with an iron fist. She controls the flow of drugs with the help of her loyal lieutenants, girlfriends since they were teenagers, and her eldest daughter, Lori, a former soldier struggling with addiction.

When a drug kingpin discovers that his numbers are down in this one town, he sends a malevolent force, known only as The Man, to investigate. At the same time, Babs's youngest daughter, Sis, has gone missing, which doesn't seem at all like a coincidence. In twenty-four hours, Sis will be found dead, and the whole town will seek shelter from Babs's wrath...

The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne is a crime saga like no other, with a ferocious matriarch at its bruised, beating heart. With sharp wit and profound empathy, award-winning author Ron Currie, delivers an unforgettable novel exploring love, retribution, and the ancestral roots that both nurture and trap us.
