In her book, A Search for Frances McGrath, AnnieMae Robertson explores the personal immediate and aftereffects of the nearby murder of a young child just before the end of the 'big war'. She searches through a world filled with synchronicities and metaphysical experiences for connections between that event and her own escalating jeopardy and family conflict. 'Her journey is as exciting as it is sad in it's discovery, and as breathtakingly tense as a ride down the first drop on a rollercoaster.'

In this fourth Georgie/Michelangelo mystery, AnnieMae Robertson takes them back to Georgie's hometown. In an attempt to dispel some of the grief following the lengthy illness and subsequent death of her younger daughter, Michelangelo-ever the compassionate man-surprises Georgie with the purchase of a house in the small beach town where she had grown up. During her first walk down along the waters edge she encounters a frightened young woman, Jessie, who involves them in researching her memory loss. While Georgie befriends the girl, Michelangelo follows bits of information to the town of Rayette in upstate New York, where the mystery deepens and quickly propels them into grave danger.
