Killing Mister Watson by Peter Matthiessen
Set on the lawless Florida frontier at the end of the 19th century, the novel follows a struggling pioneer family and the volatile men who converge on their swamp homestead as ambition, resentment, and hunger ignite into violence; through spare, lyrical prose it examines the collapse of an old patriarchal order, racial and economic tensions, and the costly human consequences of survival and revenge.
