Over dit e-boek

A tragic act of violence echoes through a small Minnesota town in this “powerful mystery” (The Christian Science Monitor).
 
On the Minnesota prairie in the late 1980s, a drought season is pushing family farms to the brink. Against this backdrop, Little Wolves follows the story of a father searching for answers after his son shoots a local sheriff dead, while the same crime haunts a woman—a pastor’s wife and a scholar of early Anglo-Saxon literature—for reasons of her own.
 
A penetrating look at small-town America from the award-winning author of The Night Birds, this book weaves together literary elements of folklore and Norse mythology while being driven by a riveting murder mystery.
