With writing that is both devastating and tender, Mark Powell (The
Sheltering) brings his acclaimed eye to an American marriage on the
verge of rupture, spinning an all-too-current tale of the world we
live in and the world we fear--and how we may not be able to tell
the two apart--perfect for fans of Adam Johnson's Fortune Smiles
and Denis Johnson's The Laughing Monsters.Tess Maynard is coming
apart. At home with her three young children in her husband's
Georgia hometown, people keep asking if she's depressed, if she and
John are okay. Secretly, she's becoming obsessed with the war on
terror--an ISIS beheading video in particular. Something about the
victim's captivity on the computer screen resonates with her.
Something inside of her demands endless prayers for a world gone
mad. The carefully constructed life of her husband is likewise
beginning to unravel. Now a college counselor, John's former life
bears persistently into the present. Once a contractor at a CIA
black site that interrogated suspected terrorists--and one innocent
civilian--he is given a choice by the Justice Department: either
help with a problem in the homeland, or they investigate. Forced by
an old colleague to spy on a new one, John's experiences abroad
come home to roost in Georgia. For his wife, for his family, he
goes along with the game. But just as he and Tess work to salvage
their life together, the world comes between them in the form of a
young man slowly being radicalized by the professor John is
reporting on. In a moment Tess imagined and never wanted to see,
the intersection of their three lives is as devastating as the
bomber's explosion of hate and metal, and as inevitable as the
battle between powers great and personal.
