Officer Mitch Hansen is determined to prove he can still be a top investigator even after a motorcycle accident leaves him paralyzed from the waist down. But proving he can still wear a uniform may be a daunting task, especially to Chief Dickerson, who never misses an opportunity to remind Mitch he is "a worthless cripple". When a resident at Tamarack Creek, a nearby facility for disabled children, meets an untimely death and mutilation, Chief Dickerson gets quite a kick out of assigning "a cripple to investigate the House of Retards." As Mitch continues to struggle against discrimination for his disability, his investigation leads him to a very dark truth at Tamarack Creek Children's Home. A truth that leads him into the depths of human suffering, organ theft, and a corruption so evil it could end his own life.

Bash (1644-1694), voyageur infatigable, pote parmi les plus clbres du Japon, est considr comme le pre du haku et l'un de ses plus grands matres. Imprgn de sa pratique mditative zen, il lui donne sa structure et surtout son esprit : un tercet trs court qui saisit l'essence de l'instant prsent. Ce carnet de voyage, qui associe prose allusive et hakus d'une saisissante vitalit, marque un tournant dans la vie et l'oeuvre du pote. Il n'achvera de le rdiger que quelques mois avant sa mort. Son priple de cinq mois dans le Nord du Japon, de la fin du printemps aux profondeurs de l'automne, invite Bash clbrer la lgret et la beaut infinie de l'instant, les richesses de l'homme et du monde, et mditer sur l'impermanence de toute chose. Les superbes haga de Manda nous accompagnent dans ce voyage au coeur du Japon ternel et de l'intime aventure humaine.
