Brundage Elizabeth Knihy

Brundage's brilliant new novel is as terrifyingly unsettling-and as beautiful- as cracking ice over a raging river. Part murder mystery, part ghost story, it's also a profound look at how past guilt informs the present, how what we yearn for is not always what we get, and how it's not only houses that can be haunted, but people as well. One of the most ambitious, original and gorgeously written novels that I've ever read-and been unable to forget. Caroline Leavitt

Fin février 1979, Chosen, petite ville étriquée et appauvrie, en passe d’être repeuplée par de riches New-Yorkais. George Clare rentre chez lui et trouve sa femme assassinée. Leur fille de trois ans, seule dans sa chambre, est saine et sauve. Pour le shérif Travis Lawton, George est le premier suspect. Huit mois plus tôt, le couple avait acheté la ferme des Hale pour une bouchée de pain, George omettant de dire à sa femme que les anciens propriétaires, acculés par les dettes, s’y étaient suicidés, laissant trois orphelins, Eddy, Wade et Cole. Dans les angles morts est aussi l’histoire des frères Hale, et celle de la maison de leur enfance.
