Genealogy of a Murder

by Lisa Belkin

Three men are born around the same time, all descendants of immigrant families. One becomes a doctor, one becomes a cop, and one becomes a convict who kills the cop after his path crossed with the doctor, who had helped set him free from prison. The author, an award-winning journalist and adept storyteller, traces their paths through several decades in this compelling story that starts by introducing us to a married couple visiting the Madison Beach Hotel in the 1960s.
