＜p＞＜strong＞"A riveting page-turner that begs to be read quickly, compulsively. But page by page, this electrifying debut by Willa Richards weaves an increasingly complicated and dark tale of guilt, fury, and the danger of building stories on that shakiest of foundations, memory." ーElizabeth Wetmore, ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestselling author of ＜em＞Valentine＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Set in Milwaukee during the “Dahmer summer” of 1991, a remarkable debut novel for fans of Mary Gaitskill and Gillian Flynn about two sistersーone who disappears, and one who is left to pick up the pieces in the aftermath.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the summer of 1991, a teenage girl named Dee McBride vanished in the city of Milwaukee.

Their mother, on her deathbed, is desperate to find out what happened to Dee so the family hires a psychic to help find Dee’s body and bring them some semblance of peace.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The appearance of the psychic plunges Peg back to the past, to those final carefree months when she last saw Deeーthe summer the ＜em＞Journal Sentinel＜/em＞ called “the deadliest . . . in the history of Milwaukee.” Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s heinous crimes dominated the headlines and overwhelmed local law enforcement. The disappearance of one girl was easily overlooked.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Peg’s hazy recollections are far from easy for her to interpret, assess, or even keep clear in her mind. And now digging deep into her memory raises doubts and difficultーeven terrifyingーquestions. Was there anything Peg could have done to prevent Dee’s disappearance? Who was really to blame for the family's loss? How often are our memories altered by the very act of voicing them?

Richards’s novel is the story of a broken family looking for answers in the face of the unknown, and asks us to reconsider the power and truth of memory.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。・・・楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
