Klappentext zu „Schaitkin, A: Saint X “
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 their family vacation. Several days later, Alison's naked 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. Years later, riding in a New York City taxi, Claire recognizes the name on the cabbie's license: Clive Richardson. Her driver is one of the men originally suspected of murdering her sister. The fateful encounter sets Claire on an obsessive pursuit of the truth--and not only to find out what happened the night of Alison's death. 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. SAINT X is a flawlessly drawn and deeply moving story that hurtles to a devastating end.
