Set
in the fictional town of Crane's View, New York, the familiar setting
of earlier Carroll novels, THE WOODEN SEA also brings back the character
of Police Chief Frannie McCabe. Crane's View is a small, comfortable town
nestled along the river, a place where nothing out of the ordinary would
happen- and doesn�t, to the casual observer. From the moment a three-legged
dog limps into the comfortable life of Police Chief Frannie McCabe and
drops dead at his feet, McCabe finds himself thrust into a new world of
unaccountable miracles and disturbing wonders. The small town of Crane's
View, New York, has long been a reassuringly familiar place for Frannie,
a haven full of small comforts and domestic harmony, but now he finds
himself afflicted by strange and inexplicable omens, such as a mysterious,
multicolored feather that keeps insinuating itself into his past, present,
and future, all of which now converge to throw Frannie's once ordinary
life into doubt. Like it or not, Frannie has come face-to-face with the
uncanny, and what he does over the next few days may have uncanny, and
what he does over the next few days may have unforseen consequences for
the entire world.
A rich stew of intrigue, wonder, and redemption, The Wooden Sea is Jonathan
Carroll's most ambitious and visionary work to date.
