Perspectives S38 / Ep 8 When the accident is no accident

On the program today, an introduction to a new author. This is a gripping story about secrets, loyalty and consequences. Lori Miller Kase joins Perspectives to discuss her debut novel, The Accident. It is a psychological thriller set in a seemingly quiet Connecticut town. The story unravels after a popular high school football player is killed in a hit and run accident. What follows is a suspenseful "whodunit" that delves deep into themes of family dynamics, teen love, loyalty, guilt, identity, the law, and the line between right and wrong. Kase is a creative writing graduate of Wesleyan and former reporter-trainee at The New York Times. This interview first aired in Jan '26.
