Mark Pacer is a diplomat stationed at the American consulate in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where an anarchist group may have murdered U.S. citizen, Bill Bancroft. The murder brings Mark into friendship with Bancroft's widow, Clair.
Later, as their friendship deepens, Mark introduces his young children to Clair, even as he begins to question what life he is called to. Continue his diplomatic career? Change to a teaching career in a regional college close to his childhood home in the Appalachians? Would Clair be interested in marrying him and following him to either place?
And even as Clair shares how she and her husband escaped their past lives in an antiwar political commune to begin new lives in Canada, Mark senses she is leaving out a vital part of her story.
That vital omission will eventually threaten not only their relationship but their lives.
Enjoy a meaningful mystery that goes beyond whodoneit to exploring a unique slice of life in the world of American diplomacy.
