"Novel set in a God-fearing small Ontario town in the 1980's, a town rife with secrets, grudges passed through the generations and an undercurrent of criminal behaviour. Lee King, the carpenter, is returning after a lengthy stay in maximum-security prison to a community that still recalls his horrendous crime. His mother is dying, and he wants to see her and his sister Donna after so many years. But things are still not quite right in the town as Stan Maitland, the retired cop, knows. Not only does he vividly remember Lee's unexplained violence from years before, he is also caught up in a mysterious new death. He has just found the body of a young woman, Judy Lacroix, in a car at the abandoned drive-in on the edge of town. Stan can't help getting involved, though his policing days are long over. And what about Lee King, will he ever understand where his violent streak comes from? When Lee finally faces who he is, the lives of his family are once again overturned..."--Publisher.
