Martyr's Creek
"Chacko's thirteen novel is his most daring. Martyr's Creek is a headlong rush into the crosscurrents of our time. A hell of a story."
So you have been named the executor of the estate of your worst enemy. How deeply can one man be drawn into the life of another? How many ghosts, real and imagined, can be called up by the vast money that was his to bestow? To what extent was he involved in the political developments of our time through his friends in the neo-conservative movement?
The answers to all those things--and the mystery of the undying dead--will all be found at Martyr's Creek.

what has been said
Chacko constructs his stories with deep primordial formations pressing upward from underneath: relationships between generations, incidents of accident and surprise, questions of heredity and attainder; obsessive deadly games; all kinds of buried topography that shape the surface landscape. There's no better way to write." -- Chicago Tribune.
