Die Dreaming

Description

Since the publication of his much-praised debut, Deadstick, Terence Faherty has established himself as an uncommonly original and compelling writer. In Die Dreaming, he continues to redefine the mystery, as seen through the eyes of his ever-curious hero, Owen Keane—the metaphysical detective whose constant wonderings and wanderings bring him up against some of life’s larger questions.At his ten-year high school reunion, Owen learns that the group of friends he’d most admired all share a dark secret. But not until the next reunion, ten years later, does he uncover the sad and ugly truth about his friends, who succumbed to the temptations and expectations of their Vietnam–era age, and have been paying the price ever since. Told with the deadpan humor, keen insight, and subtle mystery that have become Terence Faherty’s trademarks, Die Dreaming is a novel of rare accomplishment.
