Description

Carl Noxon barely survived the highway accident that ended the town's last good summer. After years of recovery, he sweeps the streets and keeps track of sunrises and songbirds. Everyone loves Carl now, and June helps him to get by day to day. She's cleaning out and window-dressing the empty buildings on Main Street, trying to keep the old town from looking as abandoned as she feels. But when skeletal remains are found in a canyon, Carl's memories begin to stir--of a girl, Lindsey, whose eyes were blue and whose perfect body was never found after the accident. "Love's not a handful of pearls," he remembers her saying. "It's supposed to be a string of pearls." And as his memories grow darker: "I have to make up lies about the bruises."The town's affection for Carl wanes as his labored recollections dredge up bullying, drugs, and sordid motives to go around. And there is something else--something... bloody. Vague shadows from the fateful night torment Carl, as he becomes his own unwilling suspect. But of what?
