Back in the eighties I worked at a used bookstore and saw this book come cross the counter one day. The cover shows a silhouette of a girl holding a bloody hammer. The caption near the image states "Katie never killed with kindness." That was all I needed to buy this book and take it home. It is still in my prized McDowell collection and will never leave. If my house caught fire, it is one of the material possessions I'd weep over losing because it has long been out of print. This book is eerie and gruesome. It starts off in 1863 and the first page describes how a woman is one-by-one stunting the growth of a litter of poodle pups with cheap gin. She is babysitting 9-year-old Katie, who wants to try. Katie shoves the syringe down the puppy's throat too hard, and it spits up the liquor and blood over Katie's dress. Furious, she brings her fist down into the puppy's stomach which pops, and then throws the thing out the window. And this is just the prologue. A young woman named Philo gets an urgent letter from her grandfather, who fears for his life from his "caretakers"--the Slapes. The book is a flee-and-chase story involving the Slapes and Philo, who wants justice and the carpetbag full of money they took from her kin. It's a book that explores the greed of one cold-hearted, dysfunctional family. I can only imagine the great books McDowell would have written if he hadn't died too soon.
