In fact, she hardly believes that he's dead at all. After a grisly accident leaves her husband drowned at the bottom of Lake Michigan, she begins a frenzied investigation of the afterlife that soon drags in everyone around her, from her mother-in-law to the private detectives parked outside her front door, as she tries to dig herself free of her own deadly mistakes. Meanwhile, Peter is a young paralegal at the firm hired to investigate her role in her husband's death, who is grappling with his own grief in the wake of his older brother's suicide and the distance that seems to have opened between himself and his family, himself and his oldest friends, and himself and everyone else in the city of Chicago. After learning about Marta's case, he becomes fascinated with her. On an outing when he's supposed to interview her neighbors for more information on her, he instead knocks on Marta's door and warns her that a company of private detectives is preparing to make her life miserable. Marta slams the door on him, but later calls his number and sets up a time to hear him out. A story of grief, devotion, and unforgivable mistakes, The Diver explores the distances that cannot be recovered, the accidents that cannot be undone, and the risks of love"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 1 $3 Copy 1 ; $c Gift ; $d 2023. $5 IaU 650 0 $a English literature $z United States $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Legal assistants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Drowning victims $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Accident investigation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Michigan, Lake $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726581 655 7 $a Novels $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726755 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 776 08 $i Online version: $a Knight, Samsun, 1992- $t Diver $d Iowa City : University of Iowa Press, 2023 $z 9781609389284 $w (DLC) 2023007507 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240117013324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49B5C116B50611EEB233F11920ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
