From Poet and Author, A F Donoghue comes his 5th book: The Whiskey Fields. An emotional, gripping thriller delving into lives affected by grief. Things like this n'er happened in Dyson, Nevada. A small dusty town where the police were untroubled. Then, the stranger came to town. He walked into St Katherine's Elementary School and killed one pupil, injuring one teacher. Mollie Shaw was 12 years old when her body was filled with cold lead bullets from an unknown killer. Her mother, a teacher at the school, was the only other person hurt. As Arthur Shaw, her father, recoils from the aftermath of the killing, he realises secrets are hidden behind everything and everyone he knew. After the funeral, he begins to lose his grip on his marriage and reality. The Shaws descend into desperation and seem to drift from one another. Art becomes obsessed with a note from Mollie which leads him to begin a dark road, hoping to find the killer who took his daughter and his life from him. His search sends him to places he never expected and to do things he would deem impossible before Mollie's death. His investigation sends him after a book, a name, crumbs of leads which have far reaching implications about life, love and the afterlife. Filled with anger, hate and the thirst for justice he sets out on a journey that will slice open his life, his marriage and the lives of the dusty little town he resides in. After everything, can Art find what he is looking for in The Whiskey Fields? "Beyond Life lies Hope"
