TANA FRENCH: THE KEEPER (H369)

H – Literature

The Searcher introduced Cal Hooper, retired Chicago police detective who settles into a small agrarian community in western Ireland. But Tana French plays with genre, so it’s a mystery, sort of, and she plays with the Old West hero and his rules about right and wrong when plopped down in another culture. Then came The Hunter, and now The Keeper, last of this trilogy. Over two classes, we’ll explore what Tana French does to the mystery, and to Old West hero Cal Hooper, in this final novel.

This offering meets for a total of 2 session(s).
