What Fathers Leave Behind

For thirteen years, Wyatt Bennett has lived alone in a cabin deep in the Montana wilderness. A wood stove, a rifle, a dog, and the silence of the great spruce: he has pared his life down to simple gestures, repeated and faithful. Until the morning a stranger climbs the frozen trail to tell him that his son, Logan, died in a fire three months ago. An accident, the report says. But Logan had found something - abandoned mine shafts, waste buried there by night, and the names of the men who kept it hidden.
In Greystone, the sheriff, the town's powerful, and a man come from Washington form a brotherhood that has never had to answer for anything. For the first time in thirteen years, Wyatt comes down from his mountain. Not to grieve. To finish what his son had started. What Fathers Leave Behind follows a man who learns that a son's death does not only close a chapter. It opens another - one he will have to carry with his own two hands.
