The Carnivore by Mark Sinnett
Friday Finds is hosted by Should Be Reading.
Here’s the blurb from the publisher:
When Hurricane Hazel tore through Toronto on October 15, 1954, it left its mark on both the city and its inhabitants. In the aftermath, a young cop named Ray Townes emerges as a hero—numerous accounts detail the way he battled the raging Humber River to save those trapped in their homes—and his story is featured prominently in the newspapers, thrusting him into the spotlight as a local celebrity.
Meanwhile, his wife Mary is wrestling with doubts about her husband’s heroism. While performing her own miracles the night of the storm as a nurse at a mud-filled, overcrowded emergency room, Mary met a woman—disoriented and near death—with a disturbingly peculiar recollection of events. While Mary tries to shake her suspicions about Ray as they rebuild their life in the shell-shocked city, she can’t help but wonder about her husband and that fateful night. When a reporter comes knocking 50 years later to revisit that horrendous night, the truth begins to surface and threatens to destroy them.
Looks like Ray may be harboring a little secret! The cover and title caught my eye first but the synopsis is just as appealing.
This does sound interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I like the premise. A book worth picking up.
Here is my Friday Find: Ghostwritten by David Mitchell
Sounds like a book to sink your teeth into!
That sounds worthy of a Borders coupon!
Ooh, you always find such great books, Ti! This sounds really intriguing!
I love decades-old hidden secrets! That usually makes for a good book!
The cover immediately caught my eye too. This sounds really interesting, Ti.
Oh, yes! The title caught my attention, and that synopsis makes me wonder what he was doing during the hurricane … sounds creepy!
I'm a little worried about the title.
Looks really interesting….what an interesting title as well!
It does have a great cover and the story sounds really interesting as well.
I admit, I usually skim right past Friday Finds. I read this one though, and the description plus the title make me really curious. You'll definitely have to review this one when you read it.
