商品簡介
Formal and a little defensive in his encounters with curious locals, Eric Loesch starts renovating a rundown house in the small, upstate New York town of his childhood. When he inspects the title to the property, however, he discovers that there is a parcel of land in the middle of his woods that he does not own. What's more, the name of the owner is blacked out.
Loesch sets out to explore the forbidding and almost impenetrable forest - lifeless, it seems, but for a bewitching white deer - that is the site of an eighteenth-century Indian massacre. But this peculiar adventure story has much to do with America's current military misadventures - and Loesch's secrets come to mirror the American psyche in a paranoid age. The answers to what - or who - might lie at the center of Loesch's property, and what events lie in his shadowy past, stand at the center of this novel.
