Last Stop on the 6 - Paperback

by Patricia Dunn (Author)

Angela Campanosi swore she'd never go back to the Bronx. But ten years after the accident that left her brother Jimmy paralyzed-and her guilt buried deep-Angela finds herself back in her old neighborhood, this time for Jimmy's wedding.

There's just one problem: the groom has disappeared.

All that's left behind is a cryptic note and Jimmy's nightstand shrine of plastic patron saints. Her mother insists it's nothing. Her father, freshly off the wagon, is too drunk to care. Her ex-boyfriend is now running the family extermination business. And her stepfather keeps trying to feed her meat gravy, despite her being a vegetarian for, oh, twenty years.

Determined to find her brother, Angela launches a reluctant investigation through the maze of her childhood streets, discovering that the people she left behind are not who she thought they were-and maybe neither is she. As the Gulf War looms and protests fill the streets, secrets surface, alliances shift, and Angela must confront the truths she's spent a decade avoiding.

Wickedly funny, sharply observant, and laced with mystery, Last Stop on the 6 is a family story wrapped in a whodunnit-where the missing person just might lead you back to yourself.
