Description

Lionel Walk, better known as Train, is a young black caddy at an elite Los Angeles golf course, where he comes to know a police detective he calls 'The Mile-Away Man'.

Keeping his head down, he navigates his way between the careless brutality of the other caddies.

Norah Still is unwillingly at the center of the criminal investigation, as the only survivor of an attempted boat hijacking gone violently wrong.

Sergeant Miller Packard - Train's 'Mile-Away Man' - is in charge of the case and, as he quietly manages the crime scene, he finds himself drawn to the beautiful window.

Miller's interest in Norah and Train soon moves beyond his professional obligations.

He tries to shield Norah from the events on the boat, fighting her need to hold on to the past.

He becomes a kind of manager as Train competes as a golfer on a lucrative underground gambling circuit.

Miller's oddly personal concern binds the three of them together in an uneasy triangle.

Pete Dexter's remarkable new novel brings to life the most violent and tender impulses of his characters as they struggle to come to terms with the difference between a gift and a passion, between their abilities and their desires.
