Beschreibung

A NEW YORK TIMES MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF FALL 2022  FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR & WINNER OF THE TAIWAN LITERATURE AWARD  Keith Chen, the second son of a traditional Taiwanese family of seven, runs away from the oppression of his village to Berlin in the hope of finding acceptance as a young gay man.  The novel begins a decade later, when Chen has just been released from prison for killing his boyfriend. He is about to return to his family’s village, a poor and desolate place. With his parents gone, his sisters married, mad, or dead, there is nothing left for him there. As the story unfurls, we learn what tore this family apart and, more importantly, the truth behind the murder of Chen’s boyfriend.  Told in a myriad of voices, both living and dead, and moving through time with deceptive ease, Ghost Town weaves a mesmerizing web of family secrets and countryside superstitions, the search for identity and clash of cultures.  ? “Multidimensional characters, a beautifully realized setting, and an apposite surprise ending... This book is excellent.”—Booklist (Starred Review)

    Don’t bring a kiss to a knife fight. 
    Roadkill. Violent. Brash. Obsessive. In the closet. 
    Clyde. Cunning. Ruthless. Biker royalty. Trapped on the other side of the same closet. 
    Roadkill. 
    I’ve hated Clyde Turner since the moment I laid eyes on him. I hate him for existing, for tempting me, for being everything I can’t have. 
    Ice-blue eyes, a cocky smirk that makes my fists itch, a damn Hell’s Butchers MC prince. I want him violently, but since I can’t have him, I will destroy him. I killed his f*cking brother, and he’s next. 
    When a fire traps us together, death feels inevitable. With no way out and nothing left to lose, we trade confessions like poison-laced promises. 
    I say I wish I’d f*cked him. Just to break him. Just to see disgust twist his perfect face. 
    His reply is like a bullet. 
    “I would have let you…” 
    Clyde. 
    I should’ve burned to death in that fire, because now my worst nightmare has come true. Roadkill knows. He knows the secret I’ve spent years burying beneath blood, alcohol, and loyalty to my club. 
    I have to kill him. There’s no other way. 
    But a knife fight leads to kisses and a deal struck in the dark. We’ll keep it quiet. No one needs to know. Enemies with benefits, nothing more. A stolen moment here, a touch there, with no strings and no club betrayal. 
    Until one of us is dead, I’ll let myself fall into his bed, and in the meanwhile, I’ll keep looking for the bastard who killed my brother. 
    The aftermath. 
    Nothing stays buried forever. Not secrets, not sins, and certainly not feelings. What starts as a forbidden tryst becomes something deeper. No matter how far we run, the shadows of our clubs and the weight of our hatred threaten to destroy us. 
    Some things you can’t come back from. 
    But that doesn’t stop us from one last kiss. 
    And then, just one more.

    Liddy has run two thousand miles from a devastating love affair. Now the idea of spending the sweltering summer watching the corn grow is driving her mad.

    In a town where everybody knows your name, the names of your exes, pets, and your third grade teacher, Marian is thankful that she and Liddy at least don't have an ex-girlfriend in common. 
     
     
     
    One degree of separation is too close for comfort.
