What this book is about
In 1952, a woman is found dead on a rural road with no apparent cause. In 1972, the same thing happens — and a young Russ Van Alstyne nearly goes to prison for it. In the present, a third woman dies identically. Clare Fergusson and Russ investigate a cold case that spans decades and implicates people long dead. The ninth Clare Fergusson novel is a beautifully constructed mystery about the persistence of unsolved evil.
