One warm January day, a man arrives at the Poloverdo's home near the desolate, windswept tip of Chile. Angel Allegria is a lifelong criminal and a fugitive from the law; the farm seems the perfect place for him to hide out in peace. Without a moment's hesitation, Angel murders the Poloverdo man and his wife. He is about to go after their son, Paolo-but a twist of conscience makes him put away his knife. Library edition with trade jacket added. A 2007 Mildred L. Batchelder Honor Book.
