    About this ebook

    A man’s determination to keep a deadly secret throws his life and community into chaos in this “brilliant novel of crime, love, and the American west” (Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter’s Bone).
     
    Henry Brusett is the only one who can explain the mysterious death of Calvin Teague. The young man was found bloodied and lifeless on his land in Montana’s vast backcountry. But as Henry keeps quiet, his silence ripples across his small community . . .
     
    Middle-aged Henry is divorced, disabled, and isolated. After years of self-imposed loneliness, he meets Karen, a woman half his age who knows nothing but her own willful solitude. Their unlikely union brings a mix of comfort and guilt for Henry who believes he’s too old for her. But it’s also the spark of his undoing . . .
     
    As Henry and Karen’s small town neighbors try to both uncover and cover-up the truth surrounding Calvin Teague’s death, The Other Shoe moves toward the inescapable in this “haunting, beautifully observed” novel (Publishers Weekly).
     
    “Rich with details that convince, insights that amaze. [Pavelich’s] prose is amongst the most impressive now being written, elegant, nuanced, rough when needed, the high and low of language.” —Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter’s Bone
     
    “[A] wonderfully engaging novel—at once heartbreaking and comic. . . . Matt Pavelich is that rare thing in American letters: a truly original voice.” —Rick Newby, Editor of The New Montana Story: An Anthology
     
    “Haunting, beautifully observed.” —Publishers Weekly
     
    “An accomplished and affecting story of love and loyalty, accountability and honor.” —Kirkus Reviews
