Synopses & Reviews
A 15-year-old girl has been viciously murdered and no one in the tranquil community of Seward Island, WA, can imagine who the killer is. But as pressure builds to find the perpetrator, any likely candidate will do. Enter Jerry Frankel. Jewish, liberal, and recently arrived from the East, he embodies everything that makes this community's leaders uneasy. Soon, as unsettling facts about Frankel's past are exposed, he becomes a suspect and the ugly prejudices that simmer under the surface threaten to turn one unsolved murder into an even more senseless tragedy.
