It is the mid-80s in post-industrial America. In a small town graced with the decaying hulks of defunct factories, young journalist and college dropout Bill churns out lengthy essays on the death of industry and of America itself for The Daily Truth, whose scoops rarely rise above the latest home-bake contest. The static summer is punctured when local bad boy Ronny Lawton reports his father missing. A dismembered finger is found and all suspect the son of murdering his hated father, but nothing can be proved. The sorry tale of the white trash Lawtons hypnotises the town and Ronny Lawton becomes a local icon. Bill becomes increasingly obsessed with the story ¿ he gets involved with Ronny¿s estranged wife, finds a decomposing human head, and ends up as a suspect in the murder case himself. Things come to a head and Ronny Lawton holds his wife, child and Bill hostage in a confrontation with the FBI. Bill escapes with the woman and child and contemplates the American dream gone sour.

In mid-80s post-industrial America, a small town struggles with the remnants of defunct factories as a young journalist and college dropout, Bill, writes for The Daily Truth. His essays reflect on the decline of industry and his family's legacy, haunted by his father's suicide and their once-thriving industrial empire. The monotony of summer is shattered when local troublemaker Ronny Lawton reports his father missing, leading to the discovery of a dismembered finger. The town suspects Ronny of murder, but evidence is lacking. As the Lawton family's tragic story captivates the community, Ronny becomes an unlikely icon. Bill's obsession with the case deepens; he becomes entangled with Ronny's estranged wife, uncovers a decomposing head, and finds himself a suspect in the murder investigation. Tensions escalate when Ronny takes his wife, child, and Bill hostage during a standoff with the FBI. Bill's eventual escape leads him to reflect on the disillusionment of the American dream. The narrative, marked by sharp, intense writing, explores the decline of a town, an era, and individual lives, intertwining a gripping murder mystery with profound commentary on failed aspirations and inevitable destruction.

Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke; Gebrochener Buchrücken; Farbtonänderung. Halloween begint met een tragedie. Behalve het gebruikelijke vandalisme ontdekt een lokale agent een doodgereden meisje tussen de hopen bijeengeharkte bladeren; een driejarig meisje verkleed als engeltje. Op het eerste gezicht lijkt het een recht-toe-recht-aan aanrijding. Maar als het onderzoek vordert blijkt al snel dat de zaak minder eenvoudig ligt. De politiechef en burgermeester blijken de kwestie zo snel mogelijk in de doofpot te willen stoppen zodra blijkt dat de hoofdverdachte een jonge talentvolle football-speler is die de toekomst van het stadje kan veranderen. De enige die zich iets van het lot van het meisje lijkt aan te trekken, agent Lawrence, dreigt ten onder te gaan in het politieke spel dat nu wordt gespeeld.
