Man in the Woods

“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. Rudy Wurlitzer lauds *Man in the Woods* as a stunning work that offers “heartbreaking insights into the dark frailties of human nature,” and which he calls, “a page turner from beginning to end.” And *New York Times* bestselling author Francine Prose hails its achievement, writing, “In this brilliant novel, Scott Spencer further expands his range.”
