Synopsis "Conscience Point: A Pilgrim's Landing Mystery (in English)"
Can 45-year-old divorcee and lifelong New Yorker Sandy Nussbaum, find happiness-and a man-in a small seaside town on Long Island's East End? Things look promising when she leaves behind the disappointments of the big city and lands a job as an assistant librarian in Pilgrim's Landing-especially after she encounters her own personal Neptune, a handsome fisherman named Gian-Carlo Messini-better known as Messi-who enters her life with a clap of thunder while holding a copy of Moby Dick. But things in this small, seemingly idyllic village, quickly take a sinister turn when Sandy discovers a dead body at the library late one night as she's getting ready to go home. Her utopian fantasies of peaceful small-town existence shattered, she finds herself at the center of a much more complicated and treacherous world than she ever imagined existed when she left behind New York City subways and overly-aggressive rats. Jewish, liberal, brash, curious, confrontational, Sandy not only finds herself at odds with her new pilgrim neighbors in a clash of culture that is at times laugh-out-loud funny, at times merely unsettling, she finds herself a suspect in the murder. Worse, as the bodies pile up around her, the shady local sheriff appears to have little interest in finding the real killer, and Sandy finds herself not only a suspect but a potential victim-and no one, not even the sexy and mysterious Messi, who has promised to keep "her sweet ass" safe in these shark-infested waters, is above suspicion. Especially after she discovers that Messi's last girlfriend "accidently" drowned at sea, and rumors of foul play continue to swirl around him.
