Abstract: Early one morning a plane crashes into the water and Bobby Western, a salvage diver, is part of a team that is called in to investigate the accident. There a nine passengers but the black box and a tenth passenger are missing. What starts with an intriguing opening gambit teasing the reader that this maybe a thriller noir in the style of No Country…quickly becomes a study of grief, sorrow and regret. Haunted by the suicide of his sister and the ghost of his father, who helped develop the atom bomb, McCarthy’s new novel dives and swirls through a menagerie of ghosts and memories littered with his unforgettable dialogue and souls searching characters.
