A fisherman's murder. A buried war crime. A father's reckoning.
Rex Thompson has spent decades hiding a felony he committed during the Vietnam War. But when his troubled sons scuttle a shrimp boat in Biloxi Bay—drowning an immigrant fisherman who once witnessed Rex's crime—the past resurfaces with devastating force.
As guilt threatens to consume him, Rex remains silent. That is, until the victim's daughter, Anh Truong, discovers a wartime journal and confronts him with a truth her father never shared. With the law closing in and his family unraveling, Rex must choose: protect his sons or seek redemption from those he betrayed.
Set on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Bycatch is a gripping Southern literary thriller that explores the tangled legacies of war, the weight of guilt, and the fragile hope of forgiveness. Where Vietnamese and Southern cultures collide, one man's choices ripple across generations.
Perfect for fans of moral suspense, Southern fiction, and character-driven mysteries, Bycatch delivers a haunting tale of reckoning and redemption.
