Scrapper

For fans of The Dog Stars and Station Eleven, Scrapper traces one manâ€™s desperate quest for redemption in a devastated Detroit.

"Has the feel of Cormac McCarthyâ€™s The Road set in present-day Motor City... powerful."
â€”Publishers Weekly

Detroit has descended into ruin. Kelly scavenges for scrap metal from the hundred thousand abandoned buildings in a part of the city known as â€œthe zone,â€ an increasingly wild landscape where one day he finds something far more valuable than the copper heâ€™s come to steal: a kidnapped boy, crying out for rescue. Briefly celebrated as a hero, Kelly secretly avenges the boyâ€™s unsolved kidnapping, a task that will take him deeper into the zone and into a confrontation with his own past and long-buried traumas.

The second novel from the acclaimed author of In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods, Scrapper is a devastating reimagining of one of Americaâ€™s greatest cities, its beautiful architecture, its lost houses, shuttered factories, boxing gyms, and storefront churches. With precise, powerful prose, it asks: What do we owe for our crimes, even those weâ€™ve committed to protect the people we love?
