It's 9:00 a.m. in an unnamed Midwest city. Bank Arbaugh and Mack Steiner have just come off a typical night shift -- patrolling the city, scaring off prostitutes, shaking up the suspects. Sitting in Denny's waiting for bacon and eggs, they get a call over the radio: a teenage girls is missing. With a glance, the two cops -- friends since childhood, as close as brothers -- know their lives have shifted off balance. Because sever years before Bank's own daughter went missing and has not been found to this day.

Two parallel stories. Two girls from opposite side of town. Seven years separating them. As evidence mounts, one case begins to illuminate the other, until finally, the inevitable conclusion is revealed. But not before Holden takes us on a harrowing journey into the night, and exposes not only the heart of a tattered American city but also of the two men whose lives are intertwined in loss, envy and love.

Stunning, haunting and unforgettable, "Four Corners Of Night" is a book that makes us think about friendship, the stuff of heroism, and the meaning of truth. Holden stops at nothing to ask the question: to what lengths will we go to overlook what we don't want to see?

Holden gracefully sustains narrative tension...Aside from the astonishing ending, what makes Holden's latest worknoteworthy is the depth of his characterizations and the assurednesswith which he handles chronological leaps to develop parallel plots andsubplots.
