Now Aaron must piece together the life that led to Sachโs death. His sole aim is to tell the truth and preserve itโbefore those who are investigating the case invent an account of their own.Leviathan is a daring and immensely moving story by an author whom The Times Literary Supplement has called โone of Americaโs most spectacularly inventive writers.โ
