Description
In the summer of 1973, fifteen-year-old Joe Beck lives in a small Canadian city near the U.S. border where he watches dark-suited politicians lie on TV during something called Watergate. So when his best friend Brian goes missing, Joe has a hard time believing that adults ever tell the truth.
Joe learns that Brian left town with his father after Brian's mother ended up in the hospital. He listens to the news reports for information, but nothing is being said. Eventually, Joe launches his own investigation, using a tape recorder—just like the American president—to help sift through the clues. Feeling that everything is up to him, Joe embarks on a perilous and enlightening journey to decipher a mental institution diary full of secrets about a drug called LSD, and uncover the truth about Brian's father and save his best friend.
A Note From the Publisher
With Fall in One Day, he brings his quirky, dark sense of humour and an ear for the dialogue he heard growing up on the Canadian prairies. His prose possesses a cinematic quality and an eye for detail stemming from his years as a professional illustrator for clients across North America.
Advance Praise
“Terlson doesn't disappoint. I sat down with Fall In One Day and kept turning the pages until I finished it nearly in one sitting. Action, history, mystery, and at the heart of it, friendship, all keep you on the edge of your seat, not quite wanting it to end.”
- Lois N., book reviewer
“Fall in One Day hooked me in the first few pages and pulled me straight through to the unexpected but satisfying final chapters. This book was one that I both wanted to savour for its spare and beautiful descriptions, and wanted to devour for its suspenseful plot.”
- K.K., advance reader
“Fall in One Day grabbed hold of me from the first page and never let go. I still feel like a part of this fast paced clever story.”
- Pat H., advance reader
“Terlson’s attention to detail is perfect, his narrative is sharp, and his intertwining of history and story make a book that is difficult to put down. This is an excellent read.”
