When college
sophomore Laurel Estabrook is attacked while riding her
bicycle through
Vermont’s back roads, her life is forever changed. Formerly
outgoing,
Laurel withdraws into her photography and begins to work at
a homeless
shelter. There she meets Bobbie Crocker, a man with a
history of mental
illness and a box of photographs that he won’t let anyone
see. When
Bobbie dies suddenly, Laurel discovers that he was telling
the truth:
before he was homeless, Bobbie Crocker was a successful
photographer
who had indeed worked with such legends as Chuck Berry,
Robert Frost,
and Eartha Kitt.
As Laurel’s fascination with
Bobbie’s former
life begins to merge into obsession, she becomes convinced
that some of
his photographs reveal a deeply hidden, dark family secret.
Her search
for the truth will lead her further from her old life—and into a
cat-and-mouse game with pursuers who claim they want to save
her.
In
this spellbinding literary thriller, rich with complex and
compelling
characters—including Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan—Chris
Bohjalian
takes readers on his most intriguing, most haunting, and most
unforgettable journey yet.
