Plus Epilogue. Dr. Mat Dorgan felt there was something wrong with the baby even before it was born. He detected an abnormal fetal heart rate, and when the baby boy arrived he just didn't look right. Little Calvin was born with profound cerebral palsy. His depressed mother has fantasies of killing him. His father, Junior Shiflett, a small-time drug dealer with an attitude, sees an opportunity to improve his life-style. Somebody is going to pay for the family's pain and suffering. A fascinating, strangely luminescent and disturbing novel, written with great insight and compassion and a powerful love of New Mexico. It is a highly original and polished work that starts quitly and builds into a page turner impossible to put down. --- John Nichols. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 10155
