Parker, Michael, Washington Post Book World: "Winton's sensory command of place is exact, imaginative, and carefully connected to Scully's emotional deterioration. 'The Riders' is richly textured and the varying rhythms and syntactical shifts of the prose create as much tension as the plot." |

| More Information |
| Details: |
In his 13th novel, Tim Winton depicts the panoramic tragedy of Scully, a ruddy, working-class fellow in Ireland whose wife, Jennifer, disappears suddenly and mysteriously after he has a ghostly vision of 20 horsemen one winter night. Scully's seven-year-old daughter, Billy, may have witnessed Jennifer's disappearance, but has been rendered mute by the ordeal. Clues lead Scully and his daughter on a quest that covers Greece, Italy, Paris, and Amsterdam, as Scully slowly accepts his failure along with the idea that some things will never be known. |
