Publisher's Synopsis
In July of 2010, Peter Vadas and his sister, Debbie Levison, discovered that the man hired to do pre-season repairs on the family's summer cottage in Muskoka, Ontario, had murdered his girlfriend and crammed her butchered body into four Home Depot buckets-two for the lower extremities, one for the torso and arm, one for the head-which he then buried in the cottage's crawlspace. The investigation, trial, and ultimate conviction of the killer triggers Debbie's memories of growing up as the awkward child of traumatized, displaced Holocaust survivors, spurring her to examine how violence affects the texture of relationships and amplifies the echoes of other, earlier crimes, no matter how long ago or how far from home.
