β¦ Synopsis
This novel of sorrow and suspense, set in rural Montana, is "a complex and powerful storyβput Black River on the must-read list" (The Seattle Times).
Wes Carver returns to his hometownβBlack River, Montanaβwith two things: his wife's ashes and a letter from the parole board. The convict who once held him hostage during a prison riot is up for release.
For years, Wes earned his living as a correction officer and found his joy playing the fiddle. But the uprising shook Wes's faith and robbed him of his music; now he must decide if his attacker should walk free.
With "lovely rhythms, spare language, tenderness, and flashes of rage," S. M. Hulse shows us the heart and darkness of an American town, and one man's struggle to find forgiveness in the wake of evil (Los Angeles Review of Books).
