Gunther Fahnstiel walked away from Ice Harvest with a bag full of money. Here, the semi-cognizant Fahnstiel walks away from his nursing home to find the buried loot, touching off a frantic search by relatives, and his memories of a post-war case when, as a young patrolman with Wichita police, Fahnstiel tried to protect a young woman from her vengeful husband. Phillips' direct prose renders a complex, tightly intertwined, fact-based story with the dark humour and chilling detail characteristic of an established master of the genre.
