When Bill Schnell's Uncle
George dies, the young
executor gets more of a job
than he bargained for.
Besides George's collection
of modern art, Bill finds
a trove of German Expressionist
work of dubious provenance.
Unfortunately, the same could
be said for some of George's
business partners, whose blunt
demands for money lead Bill
to question whether his uncle's
death was really an accident.

In this unusual new novel,
time seems to stand still as
the three Kramer daughters
gather at their parents' winter
retreat on Sanibel Island,
Florida. Over several days,
conversations loop backward,

indistinguishable, and a bleak
truth about family life emerges in
this quiet tour de force.
