Ce que le petit Cory a vu ce matin froid de printemps, au fin fond de l'Alabama, jamais il ne pourra l'oublier : une voiture folle, surgie de nulle part, s'enfonçant dans les profondeurs du lac, un inconnu attaché au volant par des menottes. Il luttera de toutes ses forces d'enfant pour découvrir la vérité et conjurer les puissances démoniaques que le mystère du lac a libérées. Une étrange prêtresse noire, centenaire, tentera de le guider... À la lisière du fantastique et du merveilleux, dans le décor mythique du Sud profond. Le Mystère du lac évoque, au long d'un périlleux parcours initiatique, les sortilèges d'un pays à jamais disparu : celui de l'enfance. Ce récit magnifiquement conté réunit les sensibilités de Mark Twain, Flannery O'Connor et Steven Spielberg. Le talent de McCammon est de savoir fondre intimement surnaturel et monde réel. Newsday.
