Ron Hansen is one of our best kept secrets. He is an amazing and versitile writer and he creates absolutely brilliant characters. Atticus Cody is a good man, such a good man in fact that the opening scenes are hard to read as Atticus repeatedly reaches out and is rejected by his wayward son. The book becomes even more painful to read as Atticus receives word that his son has taken his own life.
Atticus travels to Mexico to bring back his son's body and begins to suspect murder. This book is about a father's unconditional love for his son and should appeal to both mystery and lit lovers.
