520    "Peter Heller, the celebrated author of the breakout best-
       seller The Dog Stars, returns with an achingly beautiful, 
       wildly suspenseful second novel about an artist trying to 
       outrun his past. Years ago, a well-known expressionist 
       painter named Jim Stegner shot a man in a bar. The man 
       lived, Jim served his time, and he has learned to live 
       with the dark impulses that sometimes overtake him. Jim 
       enjoys a quiet life in the valleys of Colorado. He works 
       with a lovely model, he doesn't drink, he goes fly fishing
       in the evenings. His paintings fetch excellent prices at a
       posh gallery in Santa Fe. He is--if he can admit it--
       almost happy. One day, driving down a dirt road, Jim sees 
       a man beating a small horse. Jim leaps out of the truck, 
       tackles the man, and bloodies his nose. The man is Dell, a
       cruel hunting outfitter notorious among locals. Jim cannot
       shake his rage over the little horse. The next night, 
       under a full moon, telling himself he is just going night 
       fishing, he returns to the creek where Dell has his camp 
       and kills him. As Jim tries to come to terms with what he 
       has done, he must evade the police, navigate his own 
       conscience, and escape the members of Dell's clan set on 
       revenge. And he paints the whole time; trying to make 
       sense of his actions. Traveling from the rough adobe 
       cottages and rivers of Colorado to the bright streets and 
       galleries of Santa Fe, aching with grief and transcendent 
       with beauty, The Painter is a story about art and love and
       violence, and using the remnants of hardship to create a 
       rich life"--|cProvided by publisher.
