Claire is only seven years old when her college-age sister Alison
vanishes from the luxury resort on the Caribbean island of Saint X on
the last night of her family’s vacation. Several days later Alison’s
body is found in a remote spot on a nearby cay, and two local men,
employees at the resort, are arrested. But the evidence is slim, the
timeline against it, and the men are soon released. It’s national
tabloid news, a lurid mystery that will go unsolved, but for Claire’s
family there is only the sad return home to broken lives.
Years later, riding in a New York City taxicab, Claire recognizes the
name on the cabbie’s licence, Clive Richardson – her driver is one of
the men originally suspected of murdering her sister. The fateful
encounter sets her on an obsessive pursuit of the truth, not only what
happened on the night of Alison’s death, but the no less elusive
question of exactly who was this sister she was barely old enough to
know: a beautiful, changeable, provocative girl of eighteen at a
turbulent moment of identity formation. As Claire doggedly shadows
Clive, hoping to gain his trust, waiting for the slip that will uncover
the truth, an unlikely intimacy develops between them, two people whose
lives were forever marked by a tragedy.
Alexis Schaitkin's Saint X is a flawlessly drawn and deeply moving
story that hurtles to a devastating end.
