Dalla quarta di copertina

WHAT DID YOUR FATHER DO?

Steve Farris has two answers to that question. The first is plain enough: 'He owned a hardware store.' but the second would stop anyone in their tracks: 'He came home one night and killed my mother, my sister and my brother…'

When, years later, writer Rebecca Soltero interviews him about his missing father's crime, she reawakens long-suppressed memories of his troubled childhood. Gradually, they build up a picture of his family life before the murders – until alarming parallels with his current situation begin to emerge.

Fearing that he may be heading down the same road to tragedy, Steve cannot rest until he has finally discovered the shattering truth about the past.

"Ever wonder what Columbus felt like when he spotted land? It must be akin to discovering a writer of Thomas Cook's ability after years of ignorance. 'Mortal Memory' is one of the best thrillers of the year and shows a writer at the very top of his game. Complex, multi-layered, disturbing…simply brilliant."
BALTIMORE SUN

"In Cook's sensitive language, the past emerges like a landscape gradually disclosed as a morning fog burns away. His insightful portrait of a man caught between present and past is unusually affecting."
