Who Would Execute A Little Old Jewish Lady In The Parking Lot of Saks?

When Miriam Lavin is found shot to death after a Friday night of shopping at Saks the case falls to three police officers in Lower Merion, a wealthy suburb of Philadelphia.

In Invisible Loyalties, the lead investigator is William Sutor, a middle-aged, never-married sergeant of German descent, living with his father, a rabid anti-Semite. He is aided in the investigation by Rhonda Robinson, an African-American woman striving to move up in the predominately male, white, conservative township while keeping a secret from her past that she is sure will derail her career. Colin McKendrick works closely with Rhonda; he is a reluctant cop hiding his dissatisfaction with his life under a macho exterior.

When Sutor puts his 20-year career on the line by falling in love with Jewish literature professor, Melanie Marconi, the primary murder suspect, their affair interferes with the pursuit of justice. As evidence mounts against Melanie, the conflict between personal and professional conduct threatens to unravel the case and destroy Sutor’s and Rhonda’s careers.

Invisible Loyalties, a tale of family betrayal and revenge, is also the compelling story of friendship and love between people of different ethnic backgrounds and family experiences. The impact these differences have on the main characters’ interactions with each other and their ability to solve a murder case is told with keen insight balanced with a touch of humor.
