It begins as a simple plan. Mayor Angus MacLeod has outstayed his welcome and the entire population of Zephyr Borough knows it. His corruption includes buying and selling real estate at exorbitant prices, and a dangerous indifference to those he considered his inferiors. Perhaps no understands his cruelty more than local elementary school teacher Elspeth Wallace. An attractive and gifted teacher, she is still forced to work at slave wages that barely allow her to keep the lights on. Obviously Mayor McLeod must go. If not from being voted out of office, then by any means necessary including murder.
Wow, this was a highly unusual novel. I have never read anything quite like it before. The moment I felt like I had a handle on things and that I knew who was going to be assassinated and why, author Sapto Mitra would introduce a new plot twist, or a surprising new angle that forced me to re-evaluate my previous assumptions. I will say this. Don’t assume the easy answer!
