About the
Book A New York Times Notable Book
A cycle of violence and retribution is set in motion as two haunted men are engulfed by the emotions surrounding an unexpected and horrendous death.
Ethan, a respected professor at a small New England college, is wracked by an obsession for revenge that threatens to tear his family apart. Dwight, fleeing his crime yet hoping to get caught, wrestles with overwhelming guilt and his sense of obligation to his son. As these two men's lives unravel, Reservation Road moves to its startling conclusion.
"A dark and irresistible miracle: a heartbreaking thriller." --Los Angeles Times
"Thrums with suspense and moral ambiguity.... This is one of those rare...novels that you don't so much read as inhabit and that makes everyday life seem altogether mysterious."
"A triumph...character-driven.... Swift and complete."
