About this audiobook

Her name is at the bottom of every page. She did not read the one her father signed. Solveig Pratt weighs grain for a living on the Missouri River, and the ticket she signs at the end of every load is the only true sentence anybody in the business says out loud. She has been in Council Bluffs eleven months. She took the job because a licensed weigher went off a bridge in 2011 and they called it a suicide, and he was her father, and he never folded anything in his life. On the first Monday in June she is in the scale house after hours with her hands on the man who owns the place, and over his shoulder the indicator is moving with nothing on the deck. Renard Beauvais came out of Gonaives at nine with a plastic bag and built a river terminal out of twenty years in the pit. He wants financing for a second loop track. He is not asking who the grain in the back of his pile belongs to, because the day he asks, he finds out.
