Mystery Woman Sleuth
When a young woman with a sordid past witnesses a
murder, she finds herself fascinated by the killer and
decides to track him down herself. Amy was once a party girl, but she now lives a lonely life,
helping the house-bound to receive communion in the
Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn. She stops in at one of
the apartments on her route, where Mrs. Epifanio, the
elderly woman who lives there, says she hasn’t seen her
usual caretaker, Diane, in a few days. Supposedly, Diane has
the flu—or so Diane’s son Vincent said when he first dropped
by and vanished into Mrs. E’s bedroom to do no-one-knows-what. Amy’s brief interaction with Vincent in the apartment that
day sets off warning bells, so she assures Mrs. E that
she’ll find out what’s really going on with both him and his
mother. She tails Vincent through Brooklyn, eventually
following him and a mysterious man out of a local dive bar.
At first, the men are only talking as they walk, but then,
almost before Amy can register what has happened, Vincent is
dead. For reasons she can’t quite understand, Amy finds herself
captivated by both the crime she witnessed and the murderer
himself. She doesn’t call the cops to report what she’s
seen. Instead, she collects the murder weapon from the
sidewalk and soon finds herself on the trail of a killer. Character-driven and evocative, The Lonely Witness
brings Brooklyn to life in a way only a native can, and
opens readers’ eyes to the harsh realities of crime and
punishment on the city streets.
