The Missing Boatman: A Supernatural Thriller

When Death goes on strike, some rejoice-while others await the return of his icy grip-in this dark fantasy novel from the author of Mountain Man.

In the dead of winter, on a highway in Quebec, a man crashes his car and survives. In New York, a homeless person is run over by a bus and lives. A teenager jumps off a high-rise building in Tokyo and fails in her attempt to take her own life. All around the world, miracles like these are taking place. Death seems to have taken a holiday, and humanity breathes a sigh of relief.

But over the course of the next week, some people will begin to suspect the terrible truth behind these marvels. A handful will even search it out. One man will find it. In seven days, all hell will break loose-and nothing, living or dead, can escape its fury.
