About this item

Where deep woods cover the Maine border, blending together two countries and two languages, the summer of 1967 is a time of fear. Teenage beauties Sissy Morgan and Zaza Mulligan wander among the vacation cottages in the community of Boundary, attracting the attention of boys and men, before they're found gruesomely murdered - felled by bear traps. Andre, the little girl whose name nobody can pronounce, watches the police investigate, unaware of how profoundly these events will impact her passage into womanhood.Reminiscent of Scandinavian thrillers by Asa Larsson and Henning Mankell, Boundary was a crossover hit when first published in the French, winning both the Governor General's Award for literature and the Arthur Ellis Award for mystery novels.
