Thriller
A gripping novel of culture clash and murder: as summer
draws to a close, a small Long Island town is gripped by a
series of mysterious deaths—and one young man, a loner taken
in by a local, tries to piece together the crimes before his
own time runs out. Orient is an isolated town on the
north fork of Long Island, its future as a historic village
newly threatened by the arrival of wealthy transplants from
Manhattan—many of them artists. One late summer morning, the
body of a local caretaker is found in the open water; the
same day, a monstrous animal corpse is found on the beach,
presumed a casualty from a nearby research lab. With rumors
flying, eyes turn to Mills Chevern—a tumbleweed orphan newly
arrived in town from the west with no ties and a hazy
history. As the deaths continue and fear in town escalates,
Mills is enlisted by Beth, an Orient native in retreat from
Manhattan, to help her uncover the truth. With the clock
ticking, Mills and Beth struggle to find answers, faced with
a killer they may not be able to outsmart. Rich with
character and incident, yet deeply suspenseful,
Orient marks the emergence of a novelist of
enormous talent.
