The Times, Best Thrillers of 2025
The Savage, Noble Death of Babs Dionne introduces Babs Dionne, a doting grandmother and vicious crime matriarch who rules her small town with an iron fist. She controls the flow of drugs into its borders with the help of her loyal lieutenants, girlfriends since they were teenagers. Her eldest daughter, Lori, a former soldier struggling with addiction, is also part of the operation.
When a drug cartel discovers that its numbers are down in the area, they send a malevolent force, known only as The Man, to investigate. At the same time, Babs's youngest daughter, Sis, has gone missing, which doesn't seem at all like a coincidence. In twenty-four hours, Sis will be found dead, and the whole town will seek shelter from Babs's wrath...
