Just Beyond
When Kentuckian, Carla McClevedge, moves to the Rhode Island coast to chase her dreams of becoming an attorney, she is drawn into the investigation of a possible wrongful conviction. Three years earlier, Catherine Shelton Medeiros, daughter of a prominent judge, had been brutally murdered in her home; after a short and questionable trial, her husband was found guilty and imprisoned. But now that her children Will and Emma are of age, they are determined to reopen the investigation.
Interspersed with Carla’s quest for truth, the victim, Catherine, ponders her new role in the world after life. Bewildered by the lack of guidance, she tests the limits of her continuing existence and confronts her fear of obliteration. Each woman unravels her own convictions to arrive at unforeseen possibilities.
Interweaving a traditional “whodunnit” with existential ruminations, legal tactics, cultural intricacies, and a touch of weird science, the narrative allows the characters to explore well beyond the facts of a criminal case.
