First-edition hardcover in very good condition. Dutton Adult, 1981. 339 pages.
In this darkly brilliant tale of horror, Bari Wood writes of an extraordinary group of men and the secret - older than time and deeper than friendship - that bound them together. Belzec, 1945, in a powdery-gray, dust-coated barracks, a group of Jewish captives are found by their liberators - miraculously alive and well-fed. Brooklyn, 1980, in a powdery-gray dust-coated clubhouse, the five teenagers who murdered Professor Adam Levy, a rabbi's son, are found hideously slain. Thirty-five years apart, a continent away, what is the mystery that lies hidden beneath the layers of gray dust?
