Read In the Lake of the Woods??

In the Lake of the Woods is a book by Tim O’Brian full of suspense, mystery, and secrets.  When the press digs up some disturbing hidden secrets from his past, John Wade, a Vietnam veteran and recent candidate for the U.S. senate, flees from the judgmental eyes of society to a small, lakeside cabin deep in the woods of northern Minnesota with his wife Kathy. While John is struggling to deal with the embarrassing loss, and unwanted memories of the war, he unconsciously pushes Kathy away, until one day, he wakes up to find her inexplicably gone, as if she just vanished into thin air.  Countless explanations arise as to where Kathy went, or what could have happened to her.  A search is begun and John battles with himself, his love for Kathy, and the disturbing nightmarish memories of Vietnam.
