      Einst Star-Journalist, lässt den in Ungnade gefallenen Boyd Halverson seine Vergangenheit einfach nicht los, während ihn die Gegenwart zermürbt. Also beschließt er eines Tages, die lokale Bank auszurauben, eine Geisel zu nehmen und abzuhauen, um eine Rechnung zu begleichen – mit dem Mann, dem er die Schuld an seinem verpfuschten Leben gibt. Doch das gestohlene Geld übersteigt nicht mal Boyds eigene Rücklagen, und Angie Bing, die Bankangestellte, mit der er immer ganz gerne geflirtet hat, stellt sich als ganz schön aufmüpfige Geisel heraus. Für die beiden beginnt ein Roadtrip in die Untiefen einer von Scham und Betrug zerfressenen Nation – mit einigen gefährlichen Verfolgern auf den Fersen. Nur die Polizei scheint sich nicht für Boyd und Angie zu interessieren … »Durchdringend und messerscharf.« Haruki Murakami

      Weteran wojny wietnamskiej przegrywa wybory do Senatu. Wraz z żoną zaszywa się w leśnej głuszy nad jeziorami, by przeboleć porażkę. Po kilku dniach kobieta znika bez śladu. Rozpoczynają się poszukiwania. Co się naprawdę wydarzyło? W przejmujący sposób Tim O'Brien ukazuje okrucieństwo wojny i tragedię człowieka, przez tę wojnę okaleczonego. Rozwiązanie zagadki nie jest tak istotne jak rozszyfrowanie motywów, jakimi kierują się bohaterowie, a zresztą prawdopodobna wersja wydarzeń jest taka, że umysł wzdryga się ją przyjąć...
