A missing brother. A lawyer asking questions. And a vast forest in the mountains--the western woods--where the trees huddle close together emanating a crushing darkness and a chill dampness fills the air. The ranger, In-su Park, who lives nearby with his family, is a recovering alcoholic. He claims no knowledge of the man who disappeared, even though the missing man had worked as the ranger just before him. In the little village down the mountain, the shopkeepers will do the same and deny they ever saw or knew the man, though they're less convincing; and his former supervisor at the Forestry Research Center, Professor Jin, dismisses his importance. But when an accident and a death derail the investigation and someone attempts to break into his office, In-su Park finds himself conducting his own inquiry into the goings-on deep in the heart of the western woods--spurred by the mysterious words he discovers on a piece of paper beneath his desk: \"In the forest the owl cries.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Owl Cries\u003c\/i\u003e is a treat for fans of Stephen King, David Lynch, and the nightmare dystopias of Franz Kafka.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHye-young Pyun \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in 1972 in Seoul and earned her undergraduate degree in creative writing and graduate degree in Korean literature from Hanyang University.
