In the lakeside resort of Pomo simmering rage and resentment are about to boil over.
Into this explosive situation wanders hulking, brooding stranger John Faith. Instantly distrusted by most of Pomo's inhabitants, Faith is soon the number one suspect in the murder of local siren Storm Carey.
With a host of memorable suspects, each given their own first person narration, Pronzini has produced a taut, unputdownable thriller.
