When Eve vanishes without a trace, Val sets off on a cross-country journey to track her down, unraveling secrets that will reshape his understanding of art, love, and the American West. Reviews "Frazier is in top form for his fifth novel, which traverses America in its portrait of contrasting Depression-era lives. The writing hums with spectacular word-images, and mystery ignites the plot." — Booklist "The book’s continental scope proves that the lavishly talented Charles Frazier is not just a regional novelist. The Trackers is a suspense novel with an all-American sting." — The Washington Post "Frazier deftly blends an historical perspective throughout his fictional tale... Even though it’s set 86 years ago, there are moments that are eerie in their echoes of the present." — Associated Press "Charles Frazier’s novels possess scope and grandeur... his latest novel, The Trackers, contributes another installment to his rewriting of the American mythos."— Chapter16.org
