In this darkly compelling drama of fathers and sons, land and
rapacity, murder, honor, and revenge, an "extraordinarily
accomplished writer" (Philadelphia Inquirer) returns to the
primeval landscape of the Florida Everglades, the setting of his
bestseller Killing Mister Watson.
In 1910 a sugarcane planter named E. J. Watson was gunned down
by a group of his neighbors, perhaps in cold blood, perhaps in
self-defense. Years later, E.J.'s son Lucius tries to discover the
truth of his father's life and death. Yet even as Lucius tries to
redeem his half-lost life by gathering the testimony (and braving
the threats) of poachers and renegades, he struggles for the future
of the remote country in which they live. Beautifully composed,
filled with the eerie splendor of an endangered world, Lost Man's
River is "a great narrative...with moments of transcendent humor,
insight, and love"(Boston Globe).
