The Painter by Peter Heller

The Painter by Peter Heller

NATIONAL BESTSELLER * From the national bestselling author of The River and The Dog Stars comes a "carefully composed story about one man's downward turning life in the American West" (The Boston Globe).

After having shot a man in a Santa Fe bar, the famous artist Jim Stegner served his time and has since struggled to manage the dark impulses that sometimes overtake him. Now he lives a quiet life ... until the day that he comes across a hunting guide beating a small horse, and a brutal act of new violence rips his quiet life right open. Pursued by men dead set on retribution, Jim is left with no choice but to return to New Mexico and the high-profile life he left behind, where he'll reckon with past deeds and the dark shadows in his own heart.
