Book Overview

Harry Griffin is a loner who's witnessed some of war's rawest moments. A survivor, he is guided in all things by his unfailing loyalty and honesty. But a tragic altercation in Minnesota's North Woods that leaves a young man dead and suspicions of murder hanging in the air tests Harry's courage as never before. Nothing could have prepared him for the eerie silence that has fallen over the incident, the challenge to his nerve, and the raw carnality of his best friend's wife. Digging for answers in a town ready to lash out in fear of the dark secrets he is moving ever closer to, Harry ignores the signs of danger at his own peril. Until it all ignites in a fire of unexpected betrayal and a bloody settling of accounts.

Customer Reviews

A thriller of a read

This was my first(and his first) Chuck Logan novel. I agree with some other remarks,it did start a little slow.....but,once it got going,a great read.Quitting drinking myself a year ago,I could really "feel" for Harry.It can be a battle,everyday. Logan really made me feel I was up in the woods of northern Minnesota.The cast of characters,with their secrets,from their past,made for some interesting reading. With some great twist and turns,in his first novel,he will have me searching for his others.

Written from the heart

In his debut novel Chuck Logan writes anything but the atypical thriller. In creating his characters and location it is very obvious that he is writing about what he knows and drawing from personal experiences. This book is a touch harder and gritier than most thrillers on the market and therin lies its strength. Combining this with a great command of the language and some of the most original descriptions I have ever read make this a powerful and captivating read. The characters act real and the twists and turns of the plot keep the action moving. Recommended if you are looking for something harsher and more moving than your average thriller.

Maybe readers are too jaded to see how special Chuck is

I read this book when it first came out. The language is spectacular. Maybe it's too "thrillerish" at the end, but I thought the character of Harry was fantastic and Chuck Logan is an incredible writer. Coming from one writer to another. If you enjoy a great plot, lots of Minnesota atmosphere, and above all, rich, packed writing full of images and outstanding descriptions and characterization, you will enjoy this book.

Fast moving book...

I enjoyed the book, & when I discovered it took place in Minnesota; ie., Stillwater & 'up north' via Duluth, etc. I really got deeply engrossed with it. I felt it moved fast & I did't want to put it down. think Chuck Logan has a good beginning with his stories & characters. I have read all of his books & am eagerly awaiting his next novel.
