Orient

A riveting 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. Suffused with tension, rich with character and a haunting sense of lives suspended against an uncertain future, Orient is at once an electrifying thriller and a provocative portrait of the dark side of the American dream.
