Fiction
Returning a hero from the battlefields of World War II,
Walter Selby settles into a charmed domestic life in
Memphis. But in a few brief moments, Walter sees his life
and his world fracture and split apart, driving him to
commit a terrible crime. Many years later, Frank Cartwright ponders his next move.
His film career has left him wealthy but incomplete. When a
director approaches him with a script that has a riddle for
a plot Frank is intrigued by its resonance. In his search
for an answer to the riddle, Frank embarks on a journey that
will lead him into a past he doesn’t remember. Jim Lewis, acclaimed author of Why the Tree Loves the Ax,
returns with a novel stunning in its originality and scope.
And as he tells the stories of two men and the conflicts
that shape them, he delivers a powerful portrait of America
and the treacherous currents that run through it.
