The Deliverance

At a muddy Virginia crossroads, a lawyer asks the way to Blake Hall—and gets a warning about Christopher Blake, the man who would sooner ride over his enemy than spare him.

In the bright June heat, tobacco leaves droop across the fields of a Virginia county still living in the aftermath of the war. Christopher, born heir to Blake Hall, now works as a day labourer on land his family once owned; Bill Fletcher holds the Hall, and the county remembers how Christopher lost it. Though he cannot abide tobacco’s smell, no one can match his hand with the crop—and no one doubts the depth of his hatred for Fletcher. Now a lawyer is asking questions as he makes his way toward the Hall. What will happen when Christopher’s old grievance meets a new opportunity?
