In this "mystery of cold beauty and dark isolation, written with crystalline precision" (*Miami Herald*), a series of crib deaths in Syracuse, New York, draws the attention of police and national media. Is a serial infant murderer at large?

A "haunting story, icy cold in its upstate New York setting but glowing with the unusual brightness of its heroine" (*Eugene Weekly*), *Origin* stars a solitary fingerprint examiner who finds herself playing a critical role in the case. Diana Abu-Jaber, a "gifted and graceful writer" (*Chicago Tribune*), masterfully "transcends formula" (*Kirkus Reviews*) as "the tension of *Origin* escalates, shaped as much by beautifully nuanced prose as menacing events" (*New York Daily News*). Reading group guide included.
