Summary

Invisible Loyalties focuses on the execution of a little old Jewish lady in the parking lot of Saks. The case falls to three law-enforcement officers in Lower Merion, a wealthy Philadelphia suburb. The lead investigator is William Sutor, a middle-aged, never-married police sergeant of German descent, living with his father, a rabid anti-Semite. Sutor is assisted by Rhonda Robinson, an ambitious African-American detective intent on moving up in the predominately male, white force, and Colin McKendrick, a reluctant cop who hides his discontent under a macho exterior. When Sutor falls in love with the primary murder suspect, Jewish literature professor Melanie Marconi, their affair interferes with the pursuit of justice. As evidence mounts against Melanie, the conflict between personal and professional conduct threatens to unravel the case and destroy Sutor's career. Invisible Loyalties is a tale of family betrayal as well as one of friendship and love between people of different ethnic backgrounds and family experiences.
