The Commission of Inquiry

<p>A chimpanzee is stolen from Cameroon and rocketed to space as the test flight for John Glenn's historic orbit; a former child star struggles to stay sober; a prehistoric mammal imagines a better version of itself; a trio of ragpickers strip Union and Confederate dead of their clothes; a couple sees the woods move; the former commissaire of the French Congo investigates atrocities. Eclectic in its breadth and startling in its power <em>The Commission of Inquiry</em> investigates life death and other matters as Patrick Nevins delivers twenty stories built to surprise challenge and even change us.</p>
