In the Lake of the Woods tells the story of John Wade, a defeated candidate for the U.S. O’Brien, a Vietnam veteran, is probably best known for his short story collection The Things They Carried, and I hadn’t realized that he wrote anything that could be described as crime fiction before Angie suggested the novel for this column.
