Book summaryWinner of the 2005 Edgar Award for best novel, this mystery views the turbulent '60s through the lens of a murder case. The Becker brothers have always hated the Vonn boys. But in 1968, it's one of the Vonn sisters, the beautiful Janelle, whose brutal killing becomes something of a touchstone for the Beckers. David Becker, a minister, tried to help Janelle when she showed up at a service with a black eye, strung out on marijuana and pills. Janelle gave the smitten Andy, an ambitious reporter, her phone number, but he never called. And Nick, a rookie detective, is assigned Janelle's case, and must comb through many suspects, and ultimately, wait many years, before he truly understands how Janelle met her death. Media reviews"Love, lust, murder, betrayal, suffering and redemption all parade by as a brilliant tale-spinner...once again has his way with us." (starred review) |
