The Diviner's Tale by Bradford Morrow
A] splendidly written mystery . . . a compelling story. Grade: A --Cleveland Plain Dealer
Subtle, distinctive and well-wrought. --Washington Post Hired by a developer to dowse a lonely forested valley in upstate New York, Cassandra Brooks comes upon a girl hanged from a tree. When she returns with authorities, however, the body has vanished, calling into question her sanity--at least until a dazed, mute girl emerges from the woods, alive and eerily reminiscent of Cassandra's vision of the hanged girl. Increasingly bizarre divinations ensue, leading Cassandra back to a past she thought long behind her, locking her in a mortal chess match with a killer who has returned from the past to haunt her once more. Sublime . . . creates a seamless breathing breathtaking unity of the literary and the suspense novel, detonating the very notion of genre. Riveting, insightful, sentence-by-sentence charged with feeling, it bears us, helpless, with it on its downward journey to illumination. --Peter StraubBradford Morrow is the author of Ariel's Crossing and Giovanni's Gift, among other famous works of fiction and poetry. He is also the creator and editor of Conjunctions, a literary publication he has edited since 1981. He is a professor of literature at Bard College and received a Guggenheim fellowship in 2007.
