    The Widening Gyre Series

    By Kaimana Wolff

    ()

    About this series

    "A woman's murder is the essence of the mundane."

    Vancouver lawyer Matt Wayne catches the story of a murdered Japanese tourist on the evening news and instantly knows one thing: he will hunt down the woman he hates in Todos Santos, high in the mountains of Guatemala.

    Pira and her mother, Alma, keep quiet about their past, much as their Mayan neighbors, still in shock after four decades of La Violencia, now maintain El Silencio over an unspeakable history. But two aspiring journalists tell the sensational story their way, proving once again that lies uncover truth better than truth uncovers lies.

    No one but the shaman Natalya, dreaming of the vengeful, mythic Anton Kristo, can foresee the resulting wave of new violence about to engulf Todos Santos. Pira is plunged into a fight for her life and Alma again faces a mother's sacrifice: to give up everything for a child.

      What has happened to Jane? "All voices sing in unison: get out get out get out escape escape escape…" but violence and death stalk Jane along every bend of every way out…. Can you escape a past you never knew? Four hardworking professionals live the good life–until one falls into a hole in a Vancouver street. As the world's colors change, each man grapples with shadows of war as Jane tumbles into the abyss of the Disappeared. Paul and Zack, thrown together by what may be Jane's last testament, are hardly excited about cooperating with each other on any issue, least of all on the disappearance, weeks ago, of their mutual friend and her little daughter. What did Jane expect of them–if anything? What does her story mean–if anything? And what, if anything, should they do about Matt, Jane's beloved husband, the man each of them suspects? Caught in an ancient web of caring and enduring, action and restraint, law and healing, Zack and Paul enact the next steps–in Jane's existence as well as their own.
