The narrative emerges from its traditional beginnings interposed with legend and myth from its early stages in the colonial era through its long sordid history of bizarre happenings. The events, though mostly fictional, fall in a chronological sequence expanding over a century, and are inspired from real life experience driven by the vivid imagination of Bruce B. Fisher. The theme, explained in a convoluted manner might well be describes as: Ultimate triumph of decorum and propriety over unraveling absurdity, and the impact brought to bear by certain unquiet supernatural forces to right transgression and misdirection of long-established tradition. Stephen Gray reconnects with his once kindred organization after being away on lengthy assignments with a different vaguely kindred organization--The CIA-- and invokes the mysteries of the past touching the pulse of that unquiet environ... that shadowy place, Exeter, with its underlying malevolence lurking, latent and unseen with its iniquities, depravities, and diabolical anathema. The story unfolds as it portrays the amity of earlier times, imperious ambition and the undermining of our contemporary epoch, and how a former traditional lifestyle long enjoyed in the past may yet prevail in a more subliminal atmosphere.
