Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Beautiful. . . . Haunting. . . . Compelling." --Denver Post

"A darkly atmospheric, haunting novel. . . . Like Daphne Du Maurier . . . Williams knows the meaning of menace." --The Baltimore Sun

"Creates a mood of thoughtful suspense that keeps the reader curious from the start." --The Washington Post Book World

"Although leavened here and there with Huckleberry Finn moments of early love, this is in the main a compelling page-turner where powerful, poetic writing creates a pressing sense of menace. To be read strictly with the curtains closed." --Daily Mail (London)

"Opens with a gorgeous evocation of summer . . . .The prose carries a graceful weight of detail." -New York Times

"A compelling page-turner where powerful, poetic writing creates a pressing sense of menace." -CNN

"One of this year's finest works of prose. . . . An absorbing, accomplished novel about adolescence and adulthood, innocence and experience, and living with--and letting go of--the past. . . . [Has] a heartbreaking and inspiring transcendence." -Baltimore City Paper

"Addictive. . . . Part psychological thriller, part murder mystery, part critique of dealing with loss." -Austin American Statesman

"The mystery of the story is what keeps the pages turning, but the strength of the characters is what holds the reader's attention." -Bookpage

Reseña del editor:

In the remote, small town of Angel Rock in the Australian outback, the inexplicable disappearance of four-year-old Flynn while on a walk with his twelve-year-old brother Tom turns the community upside down, especially after the arrival of Gibson, a Sydney detective given to drunken binges, despair, and difficult questions. Reprint. 15,000 first printing.
