In A Kind of Twilight, a brazen and ruthlessly executed attack at LAX-one of America''s busiestairports-stuns the nation and dominates headlines worldwide.Rudy Bustamente, the highest-ranking Hispanic officer in the LAPD and head of the elite anti-terrorism division, is assigned the case. But nothing adds up. The target of the attack, Jim Blake-Arnold, is a family man nearing retirement, seemingly happily married to his wife of 32 years,with no apparent connection to crime, drugs, or terrorism.The only lead in this high-profile assassination is Jeremey Eaton, an international banker for J.P.Morgan and a long-time friend and business associate of Arnold. Having accompanied him to theairport, Eaton was the last person to see him alive.Still reeling from the murder, Jeremey retreats to Triple Bar Ranch, a sprawling estateoverlooking the majestic peaks of the Rockies, to spend time with his daughter.At the heart of the ranch is C.B. Moraine, a man devoted to his family, including his adoptednephew, Seth, who suffers from a rare neurological disorder. The ranch is the fulfillment of alifelong dream for C.B., who owns and manages it with his wife and sons.Also visiting the ranch is Sybil Quatermaine, a professor of cultural anthropology at NYU.Divorced and in her mid-forties with no children, she embodies the edginess and sophisticationof New York but is drawn to the mystery of ancient cultures and religions-and the rich historyof Native America. Invited to spend the summer at the ranch to conduct research and engagewith guests, she soon senses that Jeremey''s easy charm and British wit mask a deeply troubledpersonal life.As Rudy digs deeper, the trail leads from the gritty, crime-ridden streets of L.A. to the vast plainsof the Southwest. With masterful insight into the ethnic, cultural, religious, and spiritual diversitythat shapes America, Alan Bloch weaves a suspenseful tale through the vivid tapestry ofAmerican life. As the illusion of peace shatters, personal and collective histories collide in aclimactic reckoning beneath the imposing silhouette of the Rockies.
