''It is seldom that one can say a book is perfect, but this is as close as I''ve seen in a very long time'' SUNDAY INDEPENDENT
''A bold and unsettling parable about guilt, atonement and redemption'' IRISH TIMES

Michael has travelled a long way from his boyhood under the endless skies of the Midwest. His retirement is peaceful, if solitary. But one day there is a visitation: a mysterious car on the seafront, and a package delivered. From its contents, Michael understands that he has been commissioned to undertake a final journey.

As Michael makes his way deep into a distant desert – a strange and liminal landscape that lies between hell and redemption – he undertakes another journey, into long-suppressed memories: of Vietnam and the dying days of war, and to face a final accounting for what was done.

‘Another compact marvel … This is a meditative novel that, while investing heavily in a patient build-up of atmosphere, never forgets the need to put a foot on the gas’ DAILY MAIL
‘David Park’s novels are always elegantly written’ INDEPENDENT
''Unflinching, courageous, wise, alert to the thrill and sorrow of violence ... Adds to David Park''s status as a superb novelist'' FRANK MCGUINNESS
