But when the community of Carthage joins his frantic search for the girl, they discover the unlikeliest of suspectsa decorated Iraq War veteran with close ties to the Mayfield family. As grisly evidence mounts against the troubled war hero, the family must wrestle with the possibility of having lost a daughter forever.Carthage plunges us deep into the psyche of a wounded young corporal haunted by unspeakable acts of wartime aggression, while unraveling the story of a girl whose exile from her family may have come long before her disappearance. Dark and riveting, Carthage is a powerful novel that explores the human capacity for violence, love, and forgiveness, and asks if its ever truly possible to come home again.
