And just as the sheriff reopens his investigation, the death toll begins to climb. It&’s like Roy says about his roller coaster: &“Once it&’s rolling, it&’s too late to get off.&”Blood Ties is a tense, compulsively readable tour de force about loyalty, family ties, and love that is as destructive as it is powerful.

My candle burns at both ends;It will not last the night* *Excerpts from Sonnet XLIII and First Fig by Edna St. Vincent Millay
