The Badger Redemption is the third and final instalment in J. A. Ricketts’s masterpiece series that focuses on the far-reaching consequences of a small town’s actions. As with some endings, this book also serves as the beginning of something new: a legend.
Bill Hatcher’s confession has set off a chain of events that has forced the residents of Badger, Newfoundland, to re-evaluate their own lives, and to question their place in this world . . . and the next. Constable William Moss is long dead, and his is one of many spirits wandering in unrest as Ralph Drum tries to reconcile the policeman’s murder with new revelations in Ralph’s own family. Redemption is at hand for Ralph, Jennie, and thousands of others whose lives were changed when the Riot claimed a victim. They will soon learn that, in Badger, even dead men tell tales.
Let the legend begin . . .
