false 347281 1 A powerful voice in contemporary American fiction, Larry Watson is the award-winning author of Montana 1948, hailed as "a work of art" (San Francisco Chronicle), and White Crosses, praised as "one of the most irresistible novels of the year"(The Globe and Mail). In this, his debut novel, Watson explores the themes that established him as a master protrayer of small-town America. Another female student has been found strangled; the body count is up to three, and everyone suspects there will be more. But for Peter, a reticent teacher at Minnesota's Wanekia High School, his own morbid fascination with the murders haunts him more than the morning headlines. Keeping a detailed journal of his community's action;and his own;Peter discovers a disturbing ambivalence toward violence in the midst of uncommonly savage acts. A taut suspense novel that is at once compelling and thought-provoking, In a Dark Time ingeniously explores our culture's complex relationship with violence; and paints a vivid portrait of America too often color-blind to the bloody hues that tinge its landscape. 337576 1 4 1998 In a Dark Time total:17|5:2|4:4|3:7|2:2|1:2| 17 53 24 1 3 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 13 10:31:11 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 13 10:32:12 -0700 2008 1 4 0 false false Sun Sep 06 18:58:42 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 18:58:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 09:30:52 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 25 09:30:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 16:37:44 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 16:37:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 28 18:16:02 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 18:16:08 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Apr 07 14:59:13 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 14:59:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 18 16:51:57 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 16:51:57 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jan 14 14:43:31 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 14:43:31 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Mon Jan 12 19:03:05 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 19:03:05 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Nov 01 11:21:58 -0700 2008 Sat Nov 01 11:21:58 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Tue Oct 28 07:25:45 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 07:25:45 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Oct 06 18:26:47 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 18:26:49 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Sep 30 19:59:39 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 30 19:59:39 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Aug 19 08:58:37 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 19 08:58:37 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Thu Jul 31 21:32:31 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 21:32:31 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jun 02 10:40:17 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 10:40:17 -0700 2008 1 0 false false Sun Mar 02 14:08:59 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 02 14:08:59 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Feb 18 09:35:54 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 09:35:54 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Feb 08 13:32:22 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 13:32:22 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Nov 18 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Feb 06 17:57:28 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 06 17:58:29 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=347281
