Sorrow Road: A Novel (Bell Elkins Novels, 5)

In 1944, three young men from a small town in West Virginia are among the American forces participating in D-Day, changing the fortunes of the war with one bold stroke. How is that moment aboard a Navy ship as it barrels toward the Normandy shore related to the death of an old man in an Appalachian nursing home seventy-two years later? In Sorrow Road, the latest mystery from Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Julia Keller, two storiesùone set in the turbulent era of World War II and one in the present dayùare woven together to create a piercingly poignant tale of memory and family, of love and murder. Bell Elkins, prosecuting attorney in AckerÆs Gap, West Virginia, is asked by an old acquaintance to look into the death of her beloved father in an AlzheimerÆs care facility. Did he die of natural causesùor was something more sinister to blame? And thatÆs not the only issue with which Bell is grappling: Her daughter Carla has moved back home. But somethingÆs not right. Carla is desperately hiding a secret. Once again, past and present, good and evil, and revenge and forgiveness clash in a riveting story set in the shattered landscape of AckerÆs Gap, where the skies can seem dark even at high noon, and the mountains lean close to hear the whispered lament of the people trapped in their shadow.
