If you’ve wondered how Ron McLarty could possibly top his debut novel, The Memory of Running, start reading Traveler…
It seems a lifetime ago when Jono Riley left the means streets of East Providence to serve in the army. Now settled in Manhattan, he’s a part-time actor/bartender and full-time lover of Renee, one of New York’s finest—and prettiest—firefighters. Still, he’ll never forget the day when, as an 11-year-old, he watched helplessly as a gunman’s bullet violated the young body of Marie D’Agostino, his best pal’s sister and the girl he adored from afar. Blessedly, Marie didn't die…then. But now, Jono receives a letter from an old friend telling him that Marie’s never-removed bullet “traveled,” blocking an artery and killing her.
With consummate skill, McLarty takes us back and forth between Jono’s adolescence and the present, where he’s joined by Renee in an attempt to find the person who got away with murder. Their investigation will shatter Jono’s memories of the past…and lead to a shocking revelation about the bullet’s intended target.
