Chapel with Ron Hansen

Provost David Nystrom interviews Ron Hansen about his book Atticus.  

Summary of Atticus
Colorado rancher, Atticus Cody, receives word that his wayward younger son, Scott, has committed suicide in Resurrection, Mexico. When Atticus travels south to recover Scott's body, he is puzzled by what he finds there and begins to suspect murder. Effectively employed contrasts in setting and in character, especially between honorable, disciplined Atticus and the impulsive Scott and his circle, for whom love and failure seem intertwined carry the story through its increasingly gripping plot.
