As soon as the baby bassets are back in school, I always get this feeling like the holidays are lurking around the corner, just out of my sight. As if they are waiting for the right moment to pounce. It’s still August, so they have no power yet, but as soon as September comes around they start gaining their full force back. I wonder if I can keep them at bay by burning a bit of sage. Perhaps some holy water?

HUSBAND IN A COMA.
TWO MISSING TEENAGE GIRLS.
WHO CAN SHE TRUST?

Callie lives in a ten-acre home in the stunning Adirondacks with her husband. She misses her son, who’s away at college, but she’s coping pretty well with her empty nest.

SIX WEEKS AGO THE NIGHTMARE BEGAN.

Her husband Abel skidded off the road into an icy lake. His truck hit a tree and plunged into the frigid water below.

Now this once-vital 43-year-old carpenter lies in a coma, surrounded by bleeping machines and the hushed rumble of the ward at Pearl Medical Center in Vermont.

The police say it was an accident, but the details remain murky.

For some reason, he’d been an hour away from home, in a region where he had no clients that Callie was aware of.

THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET WORSE.

Callie keeps getting calls from an unknown number.

Finally she picks up. ‘Hello?’ she asks. ‘Excuse me, who’s calling?’

A woman’s voice: ‘I know what happened to your husband.’

But what comes next is even more shocking. Police tell Callie her husband is a person of interest in the disappearance of two teenage girls.

CAN CALLIE CLEAR HIS NAME? DOES SHE EVEN WANT TO?
