Chapel Hill, NC: Algonquin Books, 2015. SIGNED first edition - The first suspense novel - a very literate thriller - by this award winning writer. Eighteen year old Caitlin, on a last family vacation in the mountains of Colorado before she leaves for college, goes out for an early morning run with her younger brother - and only her brother returns. The Washington Post's review stated "The story unfolds brilliantly, always surprisingly . . . The magic of his prose equals the horror of Johnstons story; each somehow enhances the other." SIGNED on the title page. 375 pp.
Condition: Near fine in illustrated wrappers (some toning to the edges of the textblock, lower corner slightly bumped). A rather uncommon advance issue for a book which became a surprise bestseller.
