Social worker/therapist Caleb Knowles attempts to help his deaf brother Sam cope with the inexplicable murder of his fianc?e. The police in Westville, SC, as well as the dead woman's parents, however, blame Sam for her death. In order to subvert police fixation on his brother, Caleb begins his own investigation, discovering that one of his clients has a connection with the murdered woman. Fortuitously, his client sessions, which make up a substantial portion of the narrative, produce important clues that lead to the real murderer. An attractive small-town Southern setting, believable characters, and the search for motive override the sometimes strained prose: for larger and regional collections.
