There's Bill Ashcraft, a passionate, drug-abusing young activist whose flailing ambitions have taken him from Cambodia to Zuccotti Park to post-BP New Orleans, and now back home with a mysterious package strapped to the undercarriage of his truck; Stacey Moore, a doctoral candidate reluctantly confronting her family and the mother of her best friend and first love, whose disappearance spurs the mystery at the heart of the novel; Dan Eaton, a shy veteran of three tours in Iraq, home for a dinner date with the high school sweetheart he's tried desperately to forget; and the beautiful, fragile Tina Ross, whose rendezvous with the washed-up captain of the football team triggers the novel's shocking climax.

Before the evening is through, these narratives converge masterfully to reveal a mystery so dark and shocking it will take your breath away.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555778007259,"sku":"9781982100094-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/58cc8866-f39e-4c80-b936-e39324f1db6e.jpg?v=1790952926","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781982100094-secondhand-ohio","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
