Book description
After three years in prison, Shadow has done his time. But as the time
until his release ticks away, he can feel a storm brewing. Two days
before he gets out, his wife Laura dies in a mysterious car crash, in
adulterous circumstances. Dazed, Shadow travels home, only to encounter
the bizarre Mr Wednesday claiming to be a refugee from a distant war, a
former god and the king of America. Together they embark on a very
strange journey across the States, along the way solving the murders
which have occurred every winter in one small American town. But the
storm is about to break... Disturbing, gripping and profoundly strange,
Gaiman's epic novel sees him on the road to the heart of America.
