Bennett Edwards is divorced, distant from his college-age son, and desperate to feel something again. So he does the only reasonable thing: drives from New York to Michigan to track down his long-lost college girlfriend. When that plan fizzles, he agrees-without much thought-to drive her MMA-fighter daughter, Zoe, and her crusty trainer Hector to a bout in Utah.

Somewhere between cornfields, sketchy motels, and a trucker who doesn't drive trucks, Bennett realizes this trip isn't just about a fight. It's about a body. In a trunk. One Bennett is suddenly responsible for helping dispose of-piece by piece. And then he sees the tattoo.

Now tangled in a crime he never meant to commit and fiercely protective of a girl he barely knows, Bennett must reckon with what connection actually costs-and what it's worth.

Darkly funny, unexpectedly tender, and packed with bad decisions and weirder friendships, OGALLALA is a story of second chances, sharp turns, and what happens when a man finally stops running from himself.

"Compelling and suspenseful, with characters and locales that often surprise." - Kirkus

"The style itself is intelligent and witty...a really unique literary novel." - Readers' Favorite

"Filled with unexpected insights on what it takes to be a survivor. OGALLALA is highly recommended for its surprising twists of self-inspection and life engagement." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"The plot is undeniably engaging. Eichhorn writes with a cinematic rhythm that keeps you alert, amused, and occasionally blindsided. His characters, too, operate on a level of unpredictability that makes them consistently fun to read. Their decisions rarely feel safe or rehearsed, and this refusal to follow familiar emotional patterns adds a distinct charm to the narrative." - Abha S. for Reedsy Discovery
