EARTH AND SKY

by Post, Douglas

A poetic thriller about a would-be poet and part-time librarian named Sara McKeon whose lover of ten weeks, David Ames, is found dead one hot August morning. It appears that David, owner of an expensive art-deco restaurant, may have been involved in several illicit activities including kidnapping, rape and murder. Unable to believe that her lover was a killer, Sara begins her own investigation of the crime and is led deeper and deeper through the urban labyrinth into the contemporary underworld. As the detective story moves forward in time, scenes from the love affair are interspersed back to the moment when Sara and David first met. Finally, the plots converge and Sara finds herself face to face with the person who murdered her beloved.
