Book excerpt: Described by the London Free Press as 'breathatking and thought-provoking,' this is a novel of rare literary distinction - an erotic thriller combined with a true mystery, from an Edgar Award-winning author. Set in the 1930s, the story follows the investigation of a racially motivated murder in a rural Vermont town and the shocking ramifications it has on that backwoods community, which had once served as a stopping place for runaway slaves. Amidst an atmosphere of tension and distrust, the town explodes in occasional acts of violence...and even murder.
