Working Title 1.5: Strange Mercies

Pete Duval evokes a world of staggering heat and blinding midday light, a world of stray dogs and curlews. It is into this world that Mayhew arrives, a cameraman for a Catholic news network as much fleeing the desiccation of his marriage as pursuing the story of a young woman who may or may not bemarked by stigmata. Read an excerpt or purchase on WeightlessAmazon or Kobo.

“Duval is an inventive stylist.” — Publishers Weekly

“A fresh voice and approach…” Booklist, ALA

“Intriguing . . . Duval is the master of convincing details.” — Boston Globe

Pete Duval is the author of Rear View: Stories, a Bakeless Prize winner and finalist for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize. He teaches at West Chester University and in Spalding University’s low residency MFA in Writing Program and lives in Philadelphia.
