Psychological Suspense. On a hot summer night in Red Hook, Brooklyn, two bored 15-year-old girls take a pink inflatable raft into the bay for an adventure. But it's desolate and dark out, and only one of them makes it back. With June and the raft missing -- and Val's faulty memory no help -- the entire neighborhood is drawn into the mystery of what happened, from Fadi, an immigrant bodega owner, to wary Cree, an African American loner mourning his murdered father, to Jonathan, a music teacher who once attended Julliard but now spends most of his time at a bar. Racially and ethnically diverse Red Hook is as much a character as any of the people, making this a great choice for fans of similarly evocative yet gritty tales, like those by Dennis Lehane.
