Einem unerklärlichen Bootsunglück vor der Küste von Maine fallen im Sommer 1941 36 Ausflügler zum Opfer. Den neunjährigen Fischersohn Ezra lässt das Rätsel nicht los, bis er 44 Jahre später den entscheidenden Hinweis aus dem Meer fischt.

Nathan Stein -- once an attractive, cultured lawyer -- has stipped into the dark world of his powerful father's corrupt practice. After one too many shady deals, he finds himself alone, sick in body and spirit. His career and life are careening out of control, and he's about to become the prime suspect in the murder of a young woman. As we follow him over a long day and night, Nathan encounters the friends, lovers, and family members he has betrayed. Lurching toward redemption, he must answer for his actions. Is he a murderer or the victim of an elaborate frame-up? Or do his sins go even deeper? A tale of chilling suspense that belies the elegance of its prose, Blood Acre is a compelling story of one man's harrowing search through the dark streets of the soul.
