Publisher's Synopsis
Of crimes and punishment: The truth inhabiting silence cries out to be heard as Jon, Judge, and the ethereal Marie struggle for redemption under the ravagings they themselves create. Jon agonizes under Anna's intimations that baby Adly is not his, and a moment's blinding desolation cascades to infanticide. Jenny lords unrelenting dominion over Judge as she intimates knowing of Judge's horrific crime, and bends him to sentence Jon to death. The ethereal Marie and her brother Liddle, the Governor, suffer Smith's damning intimations as they stay Jon's execution in the face of a murderous public outcry. Silence harbors more than we can bear.
