Three lives, one hundred years, one forgotten town.

In 2024, Nina's small aircraft crashes into a lake in the Wyoming mountains. Lost, freezing and alone, she stumbles upon Sunrise - an abandoned frontier town that is strangely well-maintained.

In 2003, Sunrise's golden boy Coll is about to start rehearsals for the town's annual historical reenactment when he is linked with a scandalous incident at a local bar. When an author comes to him with questions about one of Sunrise's most beloved figures, Coll is forced to reassess everything he thought he knew about the city - and himself.

In 1902, town founder, gunslinger and adventure-novel hero Anton Vargas returns to Sunrise and helps the search for a missing boy. But who really is Vargas? What does he know about the boy's disappearance? And why has he returned after so many years away?

These three are strangers, separated by time. But Sunrise has secrets which lie in waiting like gunpowder: quiet, until they encounter a spark.

From the bestselling author of The Tiger's Wife comes an explosive novel that challenges the myths we think we know: of heroes and villains, of the places we lay claim to, and most of all, of our own lives.
