Ravens — by George Dawes Green

Fourteen years after he vanished from the bestseller lists following his 1995 thriller "The Juror," Green returns with this sui generis novel.

That's a long time between books.

Most of Green's time is occupied by The Moth, a "not-for-profit storytelling organization" he founded in 1997, which is now taking off with "... a free podcast downloaded by half a million listeners each month and a stellar cast of performers, including authors (Candace Bushnell, Malcolm Gladwell, the late Frank McCourt), actors (Ethan Hawke, William Baldwin) and musicians (Suzanne Vega, Run-DMC’s Darryl “DMC” McDaniels), who tell stories on the same stage as retired pickpockets, neurosurgeons, voodoo priestesses and NYPD lieutenants."
