Title: The Shores of the Night - Michael Gruber - book
Summary :
Under the Miami sun, while showers are rare, it's corpses that fall from the sky... Such as that of Sudanese businessman al-Muwalid, previously shot before impaling himself, from the tenth floor, on the gates of the Trianon Hotel. In the crime room, a shocked young girl, Emmylou, mumbles her prayers: for Inspector Jimmy Paz, this situation is considered a flagrant offense.
A prime suspect who constantly invokes these saintly voices that speak to her: in school notebooks, she confesses her hallucinated sins and denies murder... Lorna Wise, the psychologist, is categorical: Emmylou is sane. What credence, then, can be given to her statement? What part does the devil play in this tragedy? Worse: what part does God play?
