Summary:

"Nat Banyon is young, handsome and slightly rough around the edges. A few miles outside of Deepwater, he runs across a minor car crash - a fiftyish man named Finch has hit a fox and veered off the road. Banyon lends a hand and gives Finch a ride home. Finch, correctly guessing about the straits Banyon might be in, offers him a job fixing things up around his motel. When he meets Finch's young and beautiful wife, Iris, Banyon accepts. In no time flat, Banyon and Iris begin a steamy affair, while Banyon and Finch develop a menacing father/son relationship. Banyon, an orphan, begins to have nightmarish fantasies that Finch may be his real father."--BOOK JACKET. "As Banyon becomes trenchantly involved with Finch's life and the Deepwater locals, he finds himself understanding less about Finch."--BOOK JACKET. "As the young man tries to decipher Finch's behavior, his own behavior begins to wildly fracture, and hIs character gets thrown into question. Who in Deepwater is truly the dangerous one? In the meantime, there's that damn rottweiler to worry about..."--BOOK JACKET.
