Candid Shots of the 1970s

The photograph captures six mismatched high school students on a dock in a Minnesota lake. Six students, about to race. Six students, just before tragedy strikes-a tragedy that will change their lives forever.

Kristine Kathryn Rusch's most ambitious novel yet, a novel that explores how time, connection, and heartbreak can change a person's life in an instant. Rusch, one of the most decorated writers of her generation, proves yet again that very few living writers can match her skill or intensity.

A heartbreaking crime novel filled with memorable characters, Candid Shots of the 1970s marks Rusch's return to the long-form mystery in the most powerful way.

"Rusch is a great storyteller-easily the equal of Patterson or Koontz."
