The Synopsis: Silas "32" Jones and Larry Ott were once "friends" during the 70s. They were an odd mix, however: Larry, the son of white parents and lower-middle class and Silas the black son of a single parent, poor and sometimes homeless. They shouldn't have gotten along, should never have even met, but for a couple months, they shared a bond. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when Larry took a girl on a date and then she disappeared, never to be seen again. Larry was never charged with a crime but only because a body was never found and he never confessed. The people of his town, however, sentenced him with the crime and proceeded to make him "pay" in tortuous ways. Silas, in the wake of the "crime" left town. Twenty-five years later, Larry is living his lonely life in the same town and Silas has returned to the town as constable. Through similar circumstances, Larry is put into the spotlight again when another girl disappears. Larry and Silas are once again thrust into each others paths.
This was a superb book. Great writing, great characters, a great mystery. So good...I don't want to say any more because I don't want to ruin it...read it though...you'll love it!
