The Wildfire Season

Informationen zum Autor Andrew Pyper was born in Stratford, Ontario in 1968. He is the author of three novels, including international bestseller ‘Lost Girls’ (selected as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year), which is currently in development by John Malkovich for a feature film adaptation. The film rights to ‘The Killing Circle’ have been sold to the award-winning producers of ‘The Last King of Scotland’. Andrew Pyper lives in Toronto. After half his body was burned in a forest fire, Miles McEwan left his life behind and moved to the most remote place he could find, a little village in the Yukon called Ross River. He's sitting at his usual spot in the town's one bar as two life-changing forces approach from opposite sides: one is a forest fire, set with the flick of a match; the other is his former girlfriend, who after five years of searching has tracked him down, bringing with her a daughter Miles didn't know he had. As head of the town's firefighters, Miles must confront the fire, find a killer, and protect his newfound family. Andrew Pyper's vivid, panoramic story encompasses the vast wilderness of the Yukon, as malevolent forces of nature and man converge on Ross River, in this "brilliant melding of mystery, suspense, survival, and the supernatural" ("The Vancouver Sun"). Zusammenfassung Haunted. Scarred. Alone. And the nightmare's just beginning... The Wildfire Season is a remarkable tour de force - an edgy psychological thriller, a supernatural chiller, a terrifying tale of untamed nature and a poignant love story.
