The Sacred Dog

Bad blood between two men, and that feud's ultimate climax...
Frank Hooker owns The Sacred Dog, the only bar in a New England hill town, where the locals gather to drink beer, gab, and get away from their families. The only one not welcome is Al Kitchen, but Frank has his reason - he blames him for the death of his younger brother, Wes. Al Kitchen is a hellraiser; no surprise considering the grandfather who raised him was a drunk and an abuser. Yes, Al was in the car crash that killed his best buddy, Wes, but he wasn't at the wheel - a fact Frank won't accept. Frank's life is about to change now that his ex-wife and their daughter have returned after living in Florida for three years. Verona says she misses her old life, although coming back might mean facing a dark secret that involves Frank - and Al. All is about to come to a reckoning...
