The Lives We Bury
About This Novel
"The Lives We Bury" is a classic masterpiece by the master of suspense reasoning and senior defense attorney Alan Eskens. Suspense reasoning and youthful growth are cleverly blended together. This book is not only suspenseful, but also makes people burst into tears. If I hadn't met Carl, I wouldn't have known how many souls were buried under the heavy killings in the Vietnam War in 1967, nor how many secrets were buried behind his 30 years of silence in prison... In order to complete his biography class assignment, college student Joe found a volunteer in a nursing home, Carl Iverson: a dying Vietnam War veteran and a first-degree murderer who was convicted of killing a 14-year-old girl and spent 30 years in prison. However, in the process of writing Carl's story, many incidents emerged, making it increasingly difficult for Joe to connect the Vietnam War veteran to the murderer. Joe, and his neighbor, a smart girl named Lila, decide to investigate the truth. They found a diary of the victim girl and peeled off the cocoon. By deciphering the code-like descriptions in the diary, they gradually uncovered a secret that had been hidden for 30 years.
