Description

Geister der Vergangenheit suchen Walter Van Brunt an seinem 22. Geburtstag heim, und die Gedenktafel, gegen die er dann in der Nacht, betrunken und bekifft, mit seinem Motorrad rast, verweist auf ein Ereignis, das weit zurückliegt - und das auch mit Walter zu tun hat. Fortan macht er sich auf die Suche nach seinem verstorbenen Vater: Truman Van Brunt hat 20 Jahre zuvor, bei den berüchtigten Unruhen von Peterskill, der Gegenseite in die Hände gespielt und seine Frau in den Tod getrieben. Und die gleiche unheilvolle Geschichte von Treuebruch und Verrat hat sich vor noch viel längerer Zeit schon einmal zugetragen. Von den gleichen Geistern getrieben wie seine Vorfahren, muss Walter am Ende seinen eigenen Verrat teuer bezahlen. Mit immenser Phantasie, Sinn für schwarzen Humor und Überwirkliches hat Boyle eine dunklere Lesart der Geschichte Amerikas geschrieben.
