Engstrand's uncommon last novel, a rather sordid tale of sexual obsession set among laborers in an Iowa tree-trimming business. Engstrand's 1947 novel of suppressed homosexuality, The Sling and the Arrow, had been well-received despite its controversial subject matter; but The Scattered Seed received universally bad reviews, and Engstrand committed suicide not long after its publication, drowning himself in front of a crowd of observers in MacArthur Lake in downtown Los Angeles.
