Tonight, for the first time, they will make love. An hour later, Sophie lies unconscious, covered with blood, and Crow is crashing through the underbrush, hurling himself into the river to escape the police. . . . \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat was meant to be an idyllic, intimate evening has turned into a nightmare. Despite Crow’s frantic claims of innocence, evidence at the scene suggests his guilt. And Sophie, by now awake in the hospital, refuses to speak, leaving the residents of the couple’s seemingly placid Tennessee town to draw their own wildly varying conclusions.\u003cbr\u003eIf Crow isn’t to blame, then who assaulted Sophie, and what compelled Crow to flee? With each answer comes a new set of questions. Elizabeth Cox’s vibrant and lyrical narrative revisits the events leading up to the fateful night, then shows how the tragedy reverberates throughout the community, among parents, friends, teachers, and neighbors–all connected to the young lovers, all with a stake in what happens next. As growing suspicions divide the town, a closer look reveals that everyone has something to hide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA compelling and passionate page-turner, \u003ci\u003eThe Slow Moon\u003c\/i\u003e waxes full with suspense, a haunting story of innocence lost, lives betrayed, and the courage required to face the truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Random House Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007128584432,"sku":"9780812977707","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780812977707_p0.jpg?v=1763744876","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780812977707","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
