Christian is able to draw images from the minds of others--who then tend to die. His attempt to understand this power leads to an exhumation of the town's dark past, involving German prisoners of war, the community's last surviving Jew, and a murder. This cold-case-meets-magical-realism narrative is a suspenseful tale and a critical examination of how history is written.
