The Fortunate Brother: Morrissey Donna

by Donna Morrissey (Author)

Synopsis

When a man is found stabbed and floating beneath the cliffs of the Newfoundland coast, the small outpost of Hampden is swept up in a storm of suspicion and paranoia. Grief-stricken and still struggling to cope with the death of one of their own a year earlier, the troubled Now family are among the first to be suspected of the killing. As the mystery around the murdered man unfolds, the lies spiral, the stakes rise and the once close-knit town becomes a prison that no one can escape.

Donna Morrissey is one of Canada's finest writers. And this novel might very well be her most powerful to date . . . I can't recommend this book highly enough -- JOSEPH BOYDEN, author of THREE DAY ROAD
