1938: Three boys cause a fatal accident in Caneytown, they are never charged.
2017: Thornapple Terrace, Muth County seems like a nice place to dump senile old people; problem is people attached to the place keep dying.
Acker’s Gap in winter is a brutal
place and this winter is the worst on record. County prosecutor Bell Elkins has
been summoned to a bar by an old colleague from her law school days. Darleen
Strayer wants Bell to look into Thornapple Terrace, the care home, where Darleen
placed her father, Harmon, when his mind started to go. Harm died recently and
Darleen noticed something or someone was upsetting her father during their last
few visits.
Carla Elkins swore she’d never
return to Acker’s Gap but she’s home and Bell knows she’s hiding something. On
the plus side Carla’s got herself a job, a job which may unwittingly crack
several of Bell’s cases wide open, including the Strayer case.
