About this title

Synopsis:

A gentle man, the victim of a violent father, is made violent himself by a fellow cop whom he suspects of murdering a local labor official, and an ex-wife who limits contact with their daughter

Review:

"Magnificently convincing . . . beautifully sustained, suspenseful."-- "New York Times Book Review""Banks has taken on a profound theme, the ruinous and awful affliction of violence that seems to live like a secret blood-disease handed down in men like Wade....He turns it into a living art that can bring recognition and awe."-- "Los Angeles Book Review""Russell Banks is a writer of extraordinary power."-- Gail Caldwell, "Boston Globe""A compelling portrait of a man...at once moving and disturbing."-- Michiko Kakutani, "New York Times"
