Book description
Sadie Green's purple bicycle was found abandoned at the bus stop. Then
her friend, Gwen, disappeared, which led the police to propose a runaway
theory to the press. But State Police Investigator Rouge Kendall wasn't
convinced. On a barstool in Dame's tavern, where Kendall spent a little
too much time, he remembered his own mother, begging for the life of his
twin sister, Susan. That was fifteen years ago. And a man had been
imprisioned for that murder - a priest, barely in his twenties. Father
Paul Marie continued to proclaim hi innocence. And current events might
prove that he was telling the truth, that someone else might be
responsible for all three crimes. . . Taut, menacing, intensely felt,
Carol O'Connell's fifth novel reveals a total mastery of her craft.
Born in 1947, Carol O'Connell studied at the California Institute of
Arts/Chouinard and Arizona State University. She lives in New York City.
