Alone and haunted by memories of his dead wife and child, Jack--who prowled the backwaters of \u003cem\u003eGirls\u003c\/em\u003e--returns to upstate New York from the Carolina coast, where he has been working as a security guard. A New York lawyer hires him to find her missing nephew, last seen in the area of Jack's northern hometown. His search gradually uncovers a dark underside of rural life and a cast of dangerous characters. Jack is besieged by memories as he uncovers a brutal crime and finds himself in a turbulent relationship with a treacherous woman. In trying to save another's life, Jack must relive his own; memory, obsession, and reality fuse; and Jack discovers the truth of Faulkner's observation that \"the past is not really past; it's not even over.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Busch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393350088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393350081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
