By Melanie Thernstrom. Sinedu Tadesse's murder of her roommate, Trang Ho (and attack on Trang's friend, Thao Nguyen, who survived), is the catalytic crime Thernstrom tries to untangle in Halfway Heaven -- while also parsing the lesser crimes the institution itself may have been guilty of by failing to support a depressed and struggling student from halfway around the world.
This ex-library hardcover is in decent shape: expected edgewear, stamps, and stickers (but there's a free bookmark AND holder on the front flyleaf ;) ) but a fine reading copy.
