Beartown is a tiny, forgotten forest community sinking into economic ruin. The only thing keeping the residents from giving up completely is the junior ice hockey team. The team is on the cusp of winning a national semi-final—a victory that could bring sponsors, jobs, and hope back to the dying town.

Backman writes: “Late one evening toward the end of March, a teenager picked up a double-barreled shotgun, walked into the forest, put the gun to someone’s forehead, and pulled the trigger.”

You will not know who did it, or why, until the very last pages. And even then, you will not be sure who the real villain is.
