Description
Thadeus Cochran is led to the small Connecticut town of Newbury, driven by words on the wind from a voice he has learned to trust. And whether the townspeople view the events to come as calling, clairvoyance or coincidence, the end result is the same: someone, soon, will be murdered, and it will be up to him to find the killer.
As he meanders the maze, faces fall into his path as if puzzle pieces. Amy Emerson, an attractive widow who stirs feelings of his past loss, his present longings and possible future. Alba Urbina, a dark soul who is drawn to him and his mission, yet whose blatant sexuality arouse feelings he finds difficult to suppress. Andy Brewer, disgraced minister, who mocks anyone finding faith outside a bottle. Justus McDermett, Resident Trooper and keeper of the town peace, who is not always appreciative of help from outsiders. Fred Birch, owner of Birch Lumber, who seems to have his hands in many lives. Bob Tyner, Fred's partner, whose outer joviality mask the tension that has developed between the two men over the years. Todd Torkelson, owner of the Newbury News, a journalist in the loosest sense, always on the prowl for a good story, accurate or not.
Seeing the familiar sign of death pass over someone's face, his vain attempt to warn them brings a physical altercation and subsequent trip to jail. In his cell the next morning he learns that someone has died, but not the person he had confronted. While he sits confused, the town is abuzz with an almost perverse excitement, and his reputation as "seer" grows in direct proportion to his weakening faith. When the next night brings another death, he is rattled to the very core of his beliefs.
Freed from jail, he continues on his path, though with footing unsure and an increasingly hostile town. Though there is no evidence of murder, he continues to investigate--blindly, in faith--to find the killer he knows must exist.
