Product description
2009, Upstate New York: North Bath is in turmoil. The small town is threatened with annexation by its wealthier neighbor, Schuyler Springs. To make matters worse, a body is discovered in an abandoned hotel. Police Chief Charice Bond, the first Black woman to hold the position, is under immense pressure. Meanwhile, college professor Peter Sullivan is confronted with the return of his now-adult son to the town—and the question of whether he can be a good father to him. On the other side of North Bath, Ruth and her daughter Janey struggle to keep their family together. Amidst all this, the townspeople puzzle over the unidentified body. Which of their own could have vanished without a trace?
