She's built a vast, successful criminal network that reaches far beyond the Appalachian hills she calls home. She believes she's made peace with her deeds and lives by her own code, protecting her home and playing the game as best as she can. When a new player enters the game, the rules change, and Del finds herself struggling to maintain control while protecting her home and her people. As she navigates a new business deal and confrontations with new adversaries escalate, the changing rules force her to face the fact that all things end, and eventually, we all have to pay for the choices we make along the way.
Rack and Ruin is the genre-blending end to Del's story, started in Tooth and Nail, and continued in The Hard Truth.
