When Scott and Linda Gardner hire Julian Sawyer to tutor their troubled teenage son Brandon, he seems like the answer to a prayer.

Only eleven-year old Rubyfunny, curious, devoted to Sherlock Holmeshas doubts about the stranger in their midst who has so quickly become like a member of the family. But even the observant Ruby is far from understanding Julian's true designs on the Gardners. For Julian, the Gardners are like specimens in jars, creatures to be studied and manipulated. Scott is a gambler with no notion of odds, festering in the shadow of his more successful brother. Linda is ambitious, hungry for the cultured stimulation Julian easily provides. Brandon is risking his future late at night in the town woods. And Rubywell, she's just a silly little girl. And in that miscalculation lies the Gardner family's only possible salvation. InThe Tutor, Peter Abrahams creates a living, breathing portrait of an American family, their town, their secrets, their dreamsand a portrait just as compelling of the menace they welcome into their home.
