They both had their own reactions to the gregarious and charismatic movie mogul’s son. For the impressionable Peter, it was something close to awe. For the alcoholic Cass, it was unsettled rage. Then, after the rape and murder of a peasant girl, Mason’s body was found at the base of a cliff—an apparent suicide. He’d been distraught, the authorities said, over committing such a heinous crime. Peter and Cass went their separate ways, and never spoke of it again.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Now, years later, Peter is still haunted by what he knows—and by what he doesn’t. He’s sought out Cass in Charleston for closure, and something close to the truth. Together both men will share their tales of that terrible season in Italy, each with their own ghosts—and their own reasons to exorcise them. But neither Peter nor Cass is prepared for where this path of revenge, complicity, and atonement will take them.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e A profound exploration of the evil that men do, and what the innocent must endure to accommodate it, \u003ci\u003eSet This House on Fire\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a byzantine murder mystery, it’s “one of the finest novels of our times” from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of \u003ci\u003eThe Confessions of Nat Turner\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDarkness Visible\u003c\/i\u003e, and other modern classics (\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThis ebook features a new illustrated biography of William Styron, including original letters, rare photos, and never-before-seen documents from the Styron family and the Duke University Archives.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168510755056,"sku":"9781936317134","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936317134_p0.jpg?v=1769897883","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936317134","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
