Burial Society (The)
|
When Sheldon Kasner arrives in town and offers his services to the local Chevrah Kadisha, the Jewish burial society that prepares bodies for interment, its three kindly old members have little reason to question his motives. Pinning their hopes of survival on this unlikely stranger, the old men set about indoctrinating him into their dark and mysterious world. Before long, a kinship begins to form between Shell and the sweet old men. But, as we gradually come to see, Shell has an agenda of his own - and he begins to set in motion a complex scheme involving the theft of $2 million and the staging of his own death... The Burial Society is a gripping, plot-twisting tale of murder and intrigue that possesses a soul as well as a brain.
