New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke brings readers a
captivating tale of justice, love, brutality, and mysticism set in
the turbulent 1960s. The American West in the early 1960s appears
to be a pastoral paradise: golden wheat fields, mist-filled
canyons, frolicking animals. Aspiring novelist Aaron Holland
Broussard has observed it from the open door of a boxcar, riding
the rails for both inspiration and odd jobs. Jumping off in Denver,
he finds work on a farm and meets Joanne McDuffy, an articulate and
fierce college student and gifted painter. Their soul connection is
immediate, but their romance is complicated by Joanne's involvement
with a shady professor who is mixed up with a drug-addled cult.
When a sinister businessman and his son who wield their influence
through vicious cruelty set their sights on Aaron, drawing him into
an investigation of grotesque murders, it is clear that this
idyllic landscape harbors tremendous power-and evil. Followed by a
mysterious shrouded figure who might not be human, Aaron will have
to face down all these foes to save the life of the woman he loves
and his own. A prequel to James Lee Burke's masterful Holland
family trilogy, Another Kind of Eden is both riveting and one of
Burke's most ambitious works to date. It dismantles the myths of
both the twentieth-century American West and the peace-and-love
decade, excavating the beauty and idealism of the era to show the
menace and chaos that lay simmering just beneath the surface.
