Laurali Nixon has achieved success as a highly respected teacher in Almonte village, "Home of Dr. James Naismith, theinventor of basketball." Yet, even with her blessings, she is aware of something missing, a constant dissatisfaction, a frustration. This hangsabout her like a cloud until her life is transformed forever by Malcolm, a gifted, geeky but disturbed student with a recent criminal past. Laurali decides to take matters into her own hands, only to become an unwilling player in a re-activated crime investigation that involvesMalcolm. To her horror she realizes that even her love relationship with Malcolm is inextricably entangled with the investigation. Gripping, tragic, at times poetic, this startling and original work is a masterpiece of psychological suspense - one that leaves us shaken and changed.
