An Archer Island Mystery

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Crime and Punishment meets Demon Copperhead in this psychological mystery set on a remote Maine island, from the glorious days of summer to the harsh storms of winter. Thickafog draws upon the best elements of the mystery and the psychological novel in presenting a spellbinding story set on a remote Maine island with many colorful characters. Narrator Jon Davis becomes the lead suspect in the murder of his father Bobby, who is found dead at the bottom of a cliff near Jon's house. Bobby had moved in with his son nine months ago, after getting kicked out of assisted living in Florida, apparently for making unwelcome advances to a wealthy lady. Jon, a carpenter, is battling alcoholism and is a loner whose life becomes complicated when his smooth father pursues Ingrid Backlund, the 'Island Queen,' who suffers from early onset dementia. Ingrid's drug dealer son Kevin distrusts this newcomer 'from away' and blames Jon for bringing Bobby into the community, fearing his father is angling for his inheritance. Jon struggles to understand and reconcile with his father, as their time together reopens emotional wounds. The island itself becomes a character, with multi-generational lobstermen and newly arrived summer people living together, sometimes harmoniously, sometimes uneasily, in a place as harsh in winter as it is glorious in summer. Exploring themes of fate and self-determination, Thickafog takes readers on a wild ride that lingers long after the last page is turned and the fog finally lifts. Inspired by the beauty of Vinalhaven island and the people who live there. Caleb Mason is the author of The Isles of Shoals Remembered: A Legacy from America's First Artists and Musicians Colony (1992), about which Allen Lacy of The New York Times wrote: 'Provides a fascinating look at an important time period in the American arts.'
