So the Doves by Heidi James

So the Doves is an unforgettable crime novel. James writes lyrical prose, combining a compelling plot with a portrait of a man forced to question the entire basis of his life. --The Sunday Times (U.K.) Crime Book of the Month
He was 17 when Melanie vanished. Afterward, she seemed like a figment of his imagination, though she was flesh and blood--alive. But she became a story, a myth, a series of actions and consequences incorporated into his own history. Ultimately, a new version of the truth revealed itself, like a skeleton emerging from the closet. Only in this case, it was a freshly discovered body in a Kent orchard.
Flush with success at having uncovered a corrupt alliance between a U.K. bank, the arms trade, and the government, journalist Marcus Murray is disconcerted at being sent from London to his hometown to report on the finding of a corpse during excavation for a railway line. Worse yet, his moral and professional triumph is called into question by charges of fabrication. While Marcus chafes at his exile and fears for his reputation, the hometown atmosphere evokes memories of his long-lost friend and her mysterious disappearance. Recounted in chapters that alternate between events from 1989 to 1990 and the present, this psychological thriller poses thought-provoking questions about identity, offering a poignant meditation on memory and loss.
