The Nail Knot summary

Driven by tragedy, the Dog is on a quest to fish himself into oblivion—and he’s nearly made it. Lumbering across America in a wounded RV, with only the promise of the next trout stream to sustain him, the Dog rolls into Black Earth, Wisconsin. And somehow, his supply of bad cigars and vodka-Tang seem insufficient when faced with a dead body, a sweaty woman, and a mysterious figure that walks on water.
