The Painter by Peter Heller
5.0
Jim Stegner is a man who enjoys his solitary pastimes of painting and fishing. He is a successful artist who finds beauty in his quiet life although he lives with the grief of losing his only daughter to violence. He knows that he has dark impulses that he doesn’t always control.
In Colorado, Jim comes across a man beating a small horse. When he intervenes, the consequences take a violent turn and his quiet life explodes. Jim is tormented by his own conscience as he is chased by men set on retribution. The Painter feels like a novel of Old Western justice set in modern times. Jim is a conflicted soul and the suspense builds to a fitting showdown.
