From Library Journal:
Agatite, Texas is a sleepy Dust Bowl community of 3000 friendly people, with nothing to distinguish it from hundreds of other small towns, until the discovery of a dead body hanged in an abandoned outhouse sets into motion a series of events that alters the town forever. Shock follows shock in quick succession as Reynolds ( The Vigil ) relentlessly develops his tale of murder and mob action, focusing on Able Newsome, the county sheriff, and Roy Breedlove, a former high school football star turned drifter, but involving the fate of the town and all its citizens. Violence and terror often overshadow the themes of sin and retribution and Southern small town life which are the bases of the story, but these elements are evident, and raise Agatite above the action genre. Thomas L. Kilpatrick, Southern Illinois Univ. at Carbondale Lib.
