Synopses & Reviews
Fall is coming to Bantam, NY, the small town where Abby Silvernale waits tables at the InnBetween. Seasonal business is slowing down and her boss, Dulcie, is forced to cut back on shifts, leaving Abby no choice but to take a part-time secretarial job as an amanuensis for Norman, a ninety-one-year-old sculptor with a crumbling memory. When the flamboyant and needy Germaine LeClair breezes into town, having just written a successful book about Tuscany, Abby discovers the newcomer has a long history with the domineering old sculptor. On the surface, Germaine seems to be all she claims, but there is something from her past she isn't telling. At the restaurant, Dan the dishwasher quits and Dulcie hires Fritz, a man Abby distrusts from the moment she meets him. As Fritz gradually seduces and isolates Dulcie, Abby stands by, powerless. And when long-hidden secrets, revenge, and greed erupt into violence, Abby must fight to survive in this stunning sequel to The Dark End of Town.
