Query: Ethically thought provoking book

I had previously read "The Missing", Gautreaux's most recent book. The theme there was something like "everyone has something missing in their lives" and what we do about that.This book, "The Clearing" has a very challenging theme, along the lines of examining whether it is ever right to kill in order to save more (sometimes many more) lives. You may come to the story with some presuppositions, but this book will challenge them all. Gritty & sometimes quite violent, but well worth the challenge for anyone who appreciates good literature and values the sanctity of life.
