Just months after Rebekah Roberts was born, her mother, an
Hasidic Jew from Brooklyn, abandoned her Christian boyfriend and
newborn baby to return to her religion. Neither Rebekah nor her
father have heard from her since. Now a recent college graduate,
Rebekah has moved to New York City to follow her dream of becoming
a big-city reporter. But she's also drawn to the idea of being
closer to her mother, who might still be living in the Hasidic
community in Brooklyn.
Then Rebekah is called to cover the story of a murdered Hasidic
woman. Rebekah's shocked to learn that, because of the NYPD's habit
of kowtowing to the powerful ultra-Orthodox community, not only
will the woman be buried without an autopsy, her killer may get
away with murder. Rebekah can't let the story end there. But
getting to the truth won't be easy--even as she immerses herself in
the cloistered world where her mother grew up, it's clear that
she's not welcome, and everyone she meets has a secret to keep from
an outsider.
In her riveting debut "Invisible City," journalist Julia Dahl
introduces a compelling new character in search of the truth about
a murder and an understanding of her own heritage.
