Earthquake

TRAPPED IN CUSTOM-MADE GRAVES


There was Stroilov, who preferred suicide to suffocation—or to death by the killer who lurked in the silent blackness.


There was Taylor, who gave apologies to no man and who now refused God, vowing even to murder before his last breath.


There was Susan, who used her small space beneath the earth as a confession box, daring to speak thoughts that lay stagnant in her mind and blood.


And there was Donna, most courageous of all, who struggled alone, delivering her child into a world created to be destroyed...


Milton Berle and John Roeburt provide an unforgettable and soul-searching answer in this moving story of a small group of people brought together in a tiny Mexican village at precisely the time an earthquake strikes—and rips their world apart.


We ask ourselves—Why? Why that place? Why those people? Which of them is destined to die? And can the lives—and souls—of the survivors ever again be the same?


"Taut, nerve-gripping drama, brought off with skill and a sharp eye for the human comedy and the darkness at three o'clock in the morning."—Stephen Longstreet


"A curious book...an interesting chess game"—THE NEW YORK TIMES
