معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني
A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year: After years of grief and rage, a man finds new purpose in investigating a woman’s unsolved disappearance.
George Gates’s little boy was killed seven years ago and he has yet to find the cold comfort of seeing someone pay for the crime. Once a world-traveling writer, he now toils away at a local newspaper, quietly seething and plotting imaginary vengeance against the unknown murderer.
Then, during a conversation with the now-retired detective who worked his son’s case, he learns about a poet named Katherine Carr who disappeared twenty years earlier, leaving writings behind that may or may not contain useful clues. As he grows obsessed with the mystery, he’s assigned to interview an orphan with a rare fatal disease, and the two become an unlikely team in their quest to learn the fate of Katherine Carr, in this emotionally compelling novel by a “master” and winner of the prestigious Edgar Award (Chicago Tribune).
“[An] eerily poignant novel.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Every Thomas H. Cook novel is a subtle mind game, but The Fate of Katherine Carr is positively haunting.” —The New York Times Book Review
“As much an investigation into character as it is a cold-case mystery.” —Booklist
“Disturbing, psychologically complex . . . At each level, the novel ponders questions of good and evil, of guilt and retribution, and the power of storytelling itself.” —Associated Press
