Items related to A Town Called Immaculate
Still traumatized by his time in Vietnam, Ray’s world has shrunk to the boundaries of his small hometown of Immaculate, and the warmth of his adored family: his young sons Jacob and Ethan, and his wife Renee the woman who waited for him during his wartime hell. But as the snow accumulates, so do the townspeople’s stories, and the suspicions Ray has harbored for years start to resurface, along with his demons. As midnight approaches, and young Jacob vanishes into the deadly storm, Ray realizes that some generosity has been motivated by something more than neighborly kindness. Snow, it seems, can bury everything but the past; hour by hour, as Christmas Day approaches, Ray Marak begins to lose control. This haunting novel explores family and fidelity, and the fragility of the things we take for granted.

From the Author:
From Denise's Pieces: Author Peter Anthony certainly has a natural gift for storytelling, and his character development is exquisite. Both major and minor characters throughout the book receive his complete and devoted attention as each, in his or her own way, serve as catalysts to a story line that builds in suspense until the second it explodes in a thrilling conclusion.From Grumpy Old Bookman:A Town Called Immaculate is the latest in the Macmillan New Writing series (actual publication date 7 December). This series has usually featured a remarkably high degree of professionalism in what are, by definition, first (published) novels, and this one is no exception.From dovegreyreader:Another from the Macmillan New Writers series and this one eased itself into the moment with precision. Waddling around in my bombazine gown I felt in need of a good snowstorm, preferably descending on an un-nineteenth century Christmas Eve, bit of intrigue, some small town America and a page turner.From The Daily Mirror:Small town America has never seemed to cosy, blanketed in snow and lit with fairy lights. However, when Ray and Renee's young son Jacob disappears on Christmas Eve, old demons come shockingly to the fore and the locals suddenly don't seem so sweet.
About the Author:
Peter Anthony is a freelance sportswriter and columnist, and a former software engineer. He divides his time between Switzerland and Rochester, Minnesota.
