It's a place to start over. All of that ends the morning the skeletons of children are found at a construction site where new homes are being built. Once the bodies are unearthed, all of the things that Dust has tried so hard to keep hidden come bubbling to the surface. Dust is a compelling page-turner of a story, plunging right into its sordid tale of murder and mayhem from the first few pages and continuing at a breakneck pace throughout, to its explosive ending.
