"[A] splendidly written mystery . . . a compelling story. Grade: A" --Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Subtle, distinctive and well-wrought." --Washington Post Hired by a developer to dowse a lonely forested valley in upstate New York, Cassandra Brooks comes upon a girl hanged from a tree. When she returns with authorities, however, the body has vanished, calling into question her sanity--at least until a dazed, mute girl emerges from the woods, alive and eerily reminiscent of Cassandra's vision of the hanged girl. Increasingly bizarre divinations ensue, leading Cassandra back to a past she thought long behind her, locking her in a mortal chess match with a killer who has returned from the past to haunt her once more. "Sublime . . . creates a seamless breathing breathtaking unity of the literary and the suspense novel, detonating the very notion of genre. Riveting, insightful, sentence-by-sentence charged with feeling, it bears us, helpless, with it on its downward journey to illumination." --Peter StraubLanguages:EnglishPublisher:Harper PaperbacksISBN-13:9780547758657ISBN-10:0547758650UPC:9780547758657Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Mystery & Detective, Literary, ThrillersBook Topic:Women Sleuths, CrimeSize:8.00 x 5.20 x 0.90 inchesWeight:0.295Product ID:SC65N7YACA
