This is a work of fiction. Any errors or omissions are strictly the responsibility of the author. For the first decade of my career I worked at a state institution for delinquents in Pennsylvania, but Maple Grove described in this book is a complete fiction. The Strasburg Railroad in Strasburg, PA is a real steam train that I would encourage you to visit for a fun experience. On the other hand, you won’t see the stone farmhouse Brad spotted from the train.
Finally, I am indebted to Tom Sember (though he doesn’t know it) as a role-model for the character of Oliver Reynolds. Tom lived in my college dorm, and though he was blind, inspired all of us who knew him with the remarkable use of his other senses.

As his investigation in the Tetlow case gets underway, Frame is summoned to jury duty on a sensational local murder that appears to have captured everyone’s attention except his.
