"In Sherbert Lake, middle-class aspirations mask currents of cruelty and bigotry--but even the rulers can't stop the creep of unseen forces, and dread stirs under their feet. Elsewhere, an upper-middle class family grapples with cycles of addiction and abuse that threaten to atomize their bonds and their legacy entirely. And when a schoolgirl befriends an older divorcee, their growing intimacy draws her family's attention. In Hail, The Invisible Watchman, Alexandra Oliver conjures out of eerie atmospheres the chilling social dilemmas of our time."--
