Description: A story of murder and redemption in southern Illinois duck-hunting country

Synopsis:

Hank Edson is a Chicago contractor whose life-work is his southern Illinois duck-hunting club, an isolated 800 acre island of rare beauty adjoining the Illinois River. But the island comes with its own legacy. Gart Haggard, local, redneck and old man with a lifelong local reputation as poacher, market hunter, opportunist and miscreant. Garts burning ambition is to own the island and fire is his weapon. The Haggard history is rife with confrontation and lawlessness. Tolerated with a degree of pride by the town, hes become something of local character in the most evil sense of the term. The Island tells a chilling story of two men in deadly conflict, the one honorable and immovable, the other arrogant and unstoppable. Set in a last best place where hunting ducks is inseparable from the character of the land, anyone who has sat out a cold morning in a duck blind will be drawn to The Island.
