Description
Grave-robbing has been a part of human history for centuries. But what kind of person would engage in such an act? For Joey Crouch, a straight-A student living with his single mother in Chicago, life is about playing the trumpet and avoiding high school's daily humiliations. Everything changes when his mother dies in a tragic accident, sending him to rural Iowa to live with his father he has never known. Joey's father is a solitary man with secrets that will challenge everything Joey thought he knew about himself and his family. As they come to terms with each other, Joey's life takes a dark and exhilarating turn. Daniel Kraus's masterful plotting and unforgettable characters make this an epic story about fathers and sons, complex family ties, taboos, and the ever-present specter of mortality. This is a moving and terrifying tale that explores the complexities of human relationships and the mysteries of the past.
