The riveting thriller, “The Prescott Journals,” has just been launched around the world.
In the late eighties and early nineties, the small town of Prescott, Ontario, was stunned by claims of unspeakable crimes. The Prescott Journals is a fictional tale loosely based on actual events. Sarah Berman, a struggling Toronto journalist is thrust into the alleged seedy underworld of her old hometown. Hoping to score a big story, she heads to the town she had never intended to revisit. Once there, while reconnecting with old acquaintances, she discovers that one of them has a very deep and dark secret. On a mission of discovery she heads to Montreal to seek out others who had abandoned the town many years ago. Moving back and forth in time, the novel is interlaced with tangled threads of haunting nightmares, racist imprints, hidden journals, horrific crimes, and Holocaust echoes, all of which the author doggedly untangles, then deftly weaves into a captivating wrap. This book will appeal to mystery and thriller lovers, especially those who are drawn to surprise endings.
