  “It's no secret that Ketchum is one of my favorite authors. He is a master when it comes to character development and delivering an interesting, well executed story. Red is one of those stories.
  
  Avery Ludlow is a simple old man. He lives a nice quiet life since the passing of his beloved wife. He owns a general store and his best friend is an aging dog named Red his wife gave him.
  
  While Avery and Red are out fishing, three teenagers approach and attempt to rob him. When they can't get what they want from the old man, they shoot Red out of spite. Avery seeks help from the authorities, but no one wants to do anything about it because two of the three teenagers are from a prominent family. After trying time and time again to get justice through the proper channels, Av decides to take justice into his own hands.
  
  This really was a great book. The edition I have contains a bonus story called The Passenger.

  “I didn't like this one as much as The Girl Next Door or The Lost, but it didn't suck.”

  “This book actually is composed of two novellas, Red and The Passenger. Both are hard hitting stories with an emotional impact. This was a much better book than I expected it to be. ”
