Thriller
Dave Zeltserman's last novel was named by NPR as one of the
top five crime and mystery novels of 2008 and one of The
Washington Post's best books of the year.Publishers Weekly,
in a starred review, said his "breakthrough third crime
novel deserves comparison with the best of James Ellroy."
And Crimetime calls him a name to watch." Now, Zeltserman
has written the book his fans have been waiting for — a
classic unlike anything you've ever read. Jack Durkin is the ninth generation of Durkins who have
weeded Lorne Field for nearly 300 years. Though he and his
wife Lydia are miserable and would like nothing more than to
leave, Jack must wait until his son has come of age to tend
the field on his own. It's an important job, though no one
else seems to realize it. For, if the field is left
untended, a horrific monster called an Aukowie will grow — a
monster capable of taking over the entirety of America in
just two weeks. Or so it is said. . .
