About the book

"Greg is a small-time thief. He finds a certain calm inside the homes that he routinely empties of VCRs, passports, and jewelry. In the paraphernalia he snatches from other people's lives, Greg searches for signs of an answer to a question that has troubled him since a local girl disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to Caroline May - or nobody wants to admit it. Caroline has gone missing, leaving behind a family torn apart, a community shaken, and friends haunted by a longing they will never be able to assuage." "Reminiscent of Russel Bank's The Sweet Hereafter, Taylor's Departure Lounge is an evocation of the ineluctable consequences that a single tragic event has on a community. Taylor's writing manages to balance a thriller with reflections on the laws of cause and effect, innocence and guilt, and the often imperceptible ties that join us others."--BOOK JACKET.
