Mystery
Just months after Rebekah Roberts was born, her mother, an
Hasidic Jew from Brooklyn, abandoned her Christian boyfriend
and newborn baby to return to her religion. Neither Rebekah
nor her father have heard from her since. Now a recent
college graduate, Rebekah has moved to New York City to
follow her dream of becoming a big-city reporter. But she’s
also drawn to the idea of being closer to her mother, who
might still be living in the Hasidic community in Brooklyn. Then Rebekah is called to cover the story of a murdered
Hasidic woman. Rebekah’s shocked to learn that, because of
the NYPD’s habit of kowtowing to the powerful ultra-Orthodox
community, not only will the woman be buried without an
autopsy, her killer may get away with murder. Rebekah can’t
let the story end there. But getting to the truth won’t be
easy—even as she immerses herself in the cloistered world
where her mother grew up, it's clear that she's not welcome,
and everyone she meets has a secret to keep from an outsider. In her riveting debut Invisible City, journalist Julia Dahl
introduces a compelling new character in search of the truth
about a murder and an understanding of her own heritage.
