«Lost Man's River» is the novel by Peter Matthiessen, published by Random House in hardcover (539 pages, in English).
Lucius Watson returns to the Florida Everglades to investigate the truth about his father, E. J. Watson, executed by a mob and remembered as a murderer or as a family man. Interviews with old settlers reconstruct a wild frontier of smugglers and outlaws, and the shadows the past casts over identity and memory.
Second novel of Peter Matthiessen's Shadow Country trilogy, originally published in 1997. The edition includes maps of the Everglades on the endpapers.
Suitable for readers of literary and historical fiction, with an interest in American narrative and southern Florida.
