Synopsis
A man, a woman, a child, and an unforgettable dog combine forces in this gripping and surprising psychological thriller, the most stunning novel yet from Scott Spencer-named one of Publishers Weekly's Top Ten Books of 2010.

Once he thought his life would have no particular rhyme or reason, touched only by transient strangers. Then he met the beautiful, intelligent, loving Kate Ellis, who offered order and constancy. But Paul is a man of deep convictions, and the compromises we all make to get along in the world elude him. On his way home after a particularly trying day, Paul discovers a man beating a dog, and in a few fateful moments is plunged into a world of violence and onto a tumultuous journey of self-knowledge, guilt, and redemption., "A smart, haunting thriller with bass reverb and a pounding heart." --Jayne Anne Phillips, author of the National Book Award finalist Lark and Termite Scott Spencer, the acclaimed author of Endless Love and A Ship Made of Paper , reaffirms his storytelling mastery with Man in the Woods --a gripping psychological thriller about a carpenter at loose ends and the crime of passion that radically reorders his world.
