Ron Rash's masterful novel presents Bill, a successful surgeon, and his brother Eugene, a failed writer and alcoholic. The discovery of the buried remains of a young woman in their small North Carolina hometown forces them to revisit  the summer of 1969. As the events of that year are recounted, the reader will be drawn inexorably along to the inevitable tragic conclusion.
