About this audiobook
The PEN/Faulkner finalist and bestselling author returns with a collection of unforgettable stories.--In the title story, two drug-addicted friends return where they worked as boys to steal their boss's war trophies. In The Trusty, a convict sent to fetch water tries to sweet talk a farmer's young wife into helping him escape. In Something Rich and Strange, a diver is called upon to pull a drowned girl's body free from under a falls, but finds her eerily at peace below the surface.
