✦ Synopsis

After the death of his grandmother and a patient's suicide, therapist Christian Fowler seeks solace in the haunting, wintry landscapes of his youth. But there he recalls a brutal childhood tragedy and comes to the belated realization that he unwittingly betrayed a boyhood friend. Fowler's memories draw him subtly and ineluctably toward the novel's shattering conclusion, in which the shocking betrayal is relived. Exploring the nature of love and the burdens of guilt, The Boy in the Lake is a quietly stunning novel from a major new voice in contemporary fiction.
