The Finder by Will Ferguson
From the Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning novelist of 419 comes a spellbinding literary adventure novel about precious objects lost and found. The world is filled with wonders, lost objects--all real--all still out there, waiting to be found: - the missing Faberg eggs of the Romanov dynasty, worth millions- the last reel of Alfred Hitchcock's first film
- Buddy Holly's iconic glasses
- Muhammad Ali's Olympic gold medal How can such cherished objects simply vanish? Where are they hiding? And who on earth might be compelled to uncover them? Will Ferguson takes readers on a heroic, imaginative journey across continents, from the seas of southern Japan, to the arid Australian Outback, to the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, after the earthquake. Prepare to meet Gaddy Rhodes, a brittle Interpol agent obsessed with tracking The Finder--a shadowy figure she believes is collecting lost objects; Thomas Rafferty, a burnt-out travel writer whose path crosses that of The Finder, to devastating effect; and Tamsin Greene, a swaggering war photographer who is hiding secrets of her own. The Finder is a beguiling and wildly original tale about the people, places, and things that are lost and found in our world. Both an epic literary adventure and an escape into a darkly thrilling world of deceit and its rewards, this novel asks: How far would you be willing to go to recover the things you've left behind?
Will Ferguson was born in the Alberta town of Fort Vermillion. Why I Hate Canadians, his first book, was a national bestseller. Bastards and Boneheads and Canadian History for Dummies are two of his most recent books. Ferguson is also the author of Hokkaido Highway Blues, a critically praised travel story, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to Japan, a budget traveler's favorite.
