The ghosts of war reverberate across the generations in a riveting,
time-shifting story within a story from acclaimed thriller writer Tim
Wynne-Jones.
When Evan's father dies suddenly, Evan finds a hand-bound yellow book on
his desk--a book his dad had been reading when he passed away. The book
is the diary of a Japanese soldier stranded on a small Pacific island in
WWII. Why was his father reading it? What is in this account that Evan's
grandfather, whom Evan has never met before, fears so much that he will
do anything to prevent its being seen? And what could this possibly mean
for Evan? In a pulse-quickening mystery evoking the elusiveness of truth
and the endurance of wars passed from father to son, this engrossing
novel is a suspenseful, at times terrifying listen from award-winning
author Tim Wynne-Jones.
