A Senator who vanished. . .
An old man with regrets. . .
Editor Kurt Borden's star rerter is struggling with depression. Long before Kurt bought his lakeside house in Maine, a senator owned the cottage next door. When Mick Tyler shows interest in the story, Kurt sends him out to do a feature on the senator, who disappeared more than 40 years ago. Maybe Mick's fascination with the tale will lift his depression.
But Mick never comes back.
Kurt's wife finds a neighbor ill in his home. The old man, Elwood Fairmont, begs Janet to give a cryptic message to his grown children. Elwood's children gather, but their father's words mystify them. Was what he told Janet a dying confession?
Kurt assigns bright young reporter Dave Carpenter to write about Mick's disappearance. When Dave investigates the story his colleague was pursuing, Kurt's life is threatened. Janet finds a clue that makes them wonder: Are Elwood's regrets and Mick's disappearance connected to things that happened decades ago?
To unravel the close-woven mysteries, Kurt and Janet must rely on their faith and use all their wits and diplomatic skills.
