Innocence, truth, betrayal, loss, and return are at the heart of these five interconnected and chronologically successive, captivating stories. All have their roots in the 1960s.

Eleven-year-old Bobby discovers a world of evil, where adults are often not saviors. A group of students discovers the power of dynamic protest and confronts its own collective heart of darkness. Two men struggle to fill the void after the Vietnam War in an America that feels as empty and haunted as their very lives. Bobby returns, now middle-aged, to his hometown, where perhaps he is awaited by a final secret, the hope of redemption, and the desire of his heart.

“King’s inspired testament to the 1960s and the consequences of the Vietnam War… – a King who is unpretentious, reflective, and, above all, a master storyteller.” – The Guardian

“King perfectly captures the retro atmosphere of the 1960s while making you clench your teeth in fear.” – Publishers Weekly
