Dean Evers, an elderly widower, sits in front of the television with nothing better to do than waste his leftover evenings watching baseball. It’s Rays/Mariners, and David Price is breezing through the line-up. Suddenly, in a seat a few rows up beyond the batter, Evers sees the face of someone from decades past, someone who shouldn’t be at the ballgame, shouldn’t be on the planet. And so begins a parade of people from Evers’s past, all of them occupying that seat behind home plate. Until one day Dean Evers sees someone even eerier…
Am Strand einer Insel im Bundesstaat Maine wird ein Toter gefunden. Au?er ein paar M?nzen und einem P?ckchen Zigaretten tr?gt er nichts bei sich. Woran er starb, kann nicht eindeutig gekl?rt werden. Nur der Hartn?ckigkeit zweier Lokalreporter und eines jungen Gerichtsmediziners ist es zu verdanken, dass der Unbekannte – ?ber ein Jahr sp?ter – identifiziert wird. Doch damit beginnt das R?tsel erst. Denn je mehr sie ?ber den Toten und seine Herkunft herausfinden, umso weniger verstehen sie den Fall: ein scheinbar unm?gliches Verbrechen.Original: The Colorado KidAus dem Englischen von Andrea Fischer

(1982) is a collection of four novellas, markedly different in tone and subject, each on the theme of a journey. The first is a rich, satisfying, nonhorrific tale about an innocent man who carefully nurtures hope and devises a wily scheme to escape from prison. The second concerns a boy who discards his innocence by enticing an old man to travel with him into a reawakening of long-buried evil. In the third story, a writer looks back on the trek he took with three friends on the brink of adolescence to find another boy's corpse. The trip becomes a character-rich ...
