Overview

In the abandoned mining town of Roaring Gulch, Pete Sethlick has spent two years alone with his guilt and a dark secret. Deep in the permafrost beneath his cabin floor lies the body of Kung Pao, a Chinese laborer Pete shot over a handful of gold dust. But before dumping the corpse, Pete committed one final act of desecration: he severed the man's queue-his sacred braid-and nailed it to his cabin beam, hoping to keep the dead where they belong. It didn't work. Now something scrapes beneath the floorboards each night. Something whispers his name through the cracks. Something has been waiting two years to reclaim what was taken. When a stranger appears at his door during a blizzard, Pete faces a choice: cling to his secrets or confess everything. But in Roaring Gulch, the truth has a price, and some debts can only be paid in blood. A haunting tale of guilt, retribution, and the inescapable weight of sin, *The Nail and the Beam* will leave you checking beneath your floorboards and listening for footsteps in the dark.
