Maybe he means the ski resort town in Colorado? Admittedly, it would be a little weird, given that the book supposedly takes place in the Pacific Northwest, but maybe he isn’t all that good at geography.
I thought of that. But piercing a town makes only marginally more sense. I wonder if ‘Do you even English’ is appropriate? I’m not about to go read the blurb to find out. I’ve fallen into that trap before!
In the spirit of “Gee, I learned something today from LBC,” here’s the first paragraph of the preview:
Vail was a community sixteen miles southeast of Olympia, Washington in southeast Thurston County. It was named for William Vail who owned farmland and timberland in the vicinity, by a logger named Cosby.
Wikipedia adds that it was the company town for a large logging company, and that Mr. Vail owned the land that became the original town.
But after reading the first few paragraphs of the book, I don’t think I really want to know about the “piercing” part.
Lemmee guess, a dalton stride is a way of walking in the woods? No? Then why is that all we’re told?
Call me when you have an original idea.
I wonder if he means ‘veil’?
vail makes no sense in this context:
Vail; vailed; vailing; vails
transitive verb
: to lower often as a sign of respect or submission

No clue in the blurb. Probably a case of “You’d have to read the book to understand the title.”
Perhaps he misspelled the word meaning “little valley” ? Or perhaps “veil” a head covering for women?
There are just too many ways this could go. So I’m not going there.

Well, then!
I was hoping for a new downvote record.
