Marcie Rendons tief in den Siebzigern angesiedelter, herbstlich stimmungsvoller Country Noir folgt einem ganz eigenen Erzählrhythmus. Cash ist eine traumhafte Hardboiled-Protagonistin: cool, wortkarg, tough und absolut instinktsicher. Das Porträt der ländlichen USA aus Sicht einer einzelgängerischen jungen Indianerin ist historisch akkurat und so poetisch wie illusionslos.
