- Synopsis
- Closing Arguments is the story of a shocking murder trial, a disintegrating marriage, an obsessive love affair. In the tradition of Robert Stone and Russell Banks, Frederick Busch weaves a tale of lies, duplicity, fatal attractions, and shattering revelations that uncover new and dizzying depths to the very last page. Not a day goes by but Mark Brennan remembers Vietnam. In some ways he seems a textbook case of post-traumatic combat stress. Brennan carries this burden with him into his upstate New York law practice, his relations with his children, and his tense marriage. But when he is asked, pro bono, to defend a young woman accused of murdering her lover in bed, Mark's sense of impending recognition starts to close in. As he becomes obsessively involved with the thrillingly dangerous Estella, Mark pilots his life to its outermost limits. Closing Arguments is a disturbing novel about deception, betrayal, violence, and the imagination of violence. With a sure, commanding touch, Frederick Busch reveals beneath the placid exterior of small town America a world of fear, rage, agony, and love come desperately unmoored. The sheer power of Closing Arguments will sweep you from its opening page to its agonizing but inevitable climax.
