The Leper

*Starred Review* Steve Thayer's new novel The Leper is the story of a Minnesota schoolteacher who contracts leprosy and is exiled to a colony so miserable its existence is only rumored. His desperate escapes from this hellhole become murderous as he tries to return to a place and time, and a woman, that he loves. Finally, banished to the island of Molokai, he becomes a leprosy settlement sheriff-and a living legend.

Who wants to read a novel about a leper? Anyone who wants to be enlightened, educated and entertained by bestseller Thayer's (The Weatherman) unusual but awe-inspiring hero…This book deserves a wide readership. ~Publishers Weekly (starred review)
