Mystery Woman Sleuth
A fingerprint expert's investigation of a series of
crib deaths leads her back to the mystery of her own
childhood.
Lena is a fingerprint expert at a
crime lab in the small city of Syracuse, New York, where
winters are cold and deep. Suddenly, a series of crib
deaths-indistinguishable from SIDS except for the fevered
testimony of one distraught mother with connections in
high places-draws the attention of the police and the
national media and raises the possibility of the
inconceivable: could there be a serial infant murderer on
the loose?
Orphaned as a child, out of place as an
adult, gifted with delicate and terrifying powers of
intuition, Lena finds herself playing a critical role in
the case. But then there is the mystery of her own
childhood to solve....Could the improbable deaths of a
half-dozen babies be somehow connected to her own
improbable survival?
The beauty and originality of
Diana Abu-Jaber's writing are here accompanied by deft,
page-turning narrative tension and atmosphere, tugging the
reader to an unforgettable conclusion.
