The Far Empty

â€œJ. Todd Scottâ€™s The Far Empty is so good I wish Iâ€™d written it. The poetic and bloody ground of west Texas has given birth to a powerful new voice in contemporary western crime fiction.â€ â€”Craig Johnson, New York Timesâ€“bestselling author of the Walt Longmire series

In this gritty crime debut set in the stark Texas borderlands, an unearthed skeleton will throw a small town into violent turmoil.

Seventeen-year-old Caleb Ross is adrift in the wake of the sudden disappearance of his mother more than a year ago, and is struggling to find his way out of the small Texas border town of Murfee. Chris Cherry is a newly minted sheriffâ€™s deputy, a high school football hero who has reluctantly returned to his hometown. When skeletal remains are discovered in the surrounding badlands, the two are inexorably drawn together as their efforts to uncover Murfeeâ€™s darkest secrets lead them to the same terrifying suspect: Calebâ€™s father and Chrisâ€™s boss, the charismatic and feared Sheriff Standford â€œJudgeâ€ Ross. Dark, elegiac, and violent, The Far Empty is a modern Western, a story of loss and escape set along the sharp edge of the Texas border. Told by a longtime federal agent who knows the region, itâ€™s a debut novel you wonâ€™t soon forget.
