Book Overview
A Chevrolet El Camino pulled from Oregon's Willamette River revives an all but forgotten missing persons case. Jessie Devonshire and Randy Mendelson were gone, and in the apparent absence of solid evidence, the case had turned as cold as the dark waters where they had lain for three decades.
Jessie was the fifteen-year-old step-daughter of a rising star in local politics, and Randy was the family's twenty-year-old landscaper. The immediate conclusion was that the two had struck up a romantic relationship and run off to start a new life together.
Wilson Landis Devonshire went on to become a justice on the Oregon Supreme Court, and any mention of Jessie's name brought just a sad shake of his head. As for Randy, he was simply forgotten, by everyone except his mother.
The old explanation was modified to suit the new evidence. It was a sad but simple murder-suicide. Case closed. But Mrs. Mendelson couldn't leave it that way. She takes the case to Corrigan, a private investigator with a reputation for solving the toughest mysteries.
But how many people would die before the truth is revealed?
