Thomas Cook has written a complex story-within-a-story-within-a-story that examines the nature of evil. George Gates is a newspaper reporter of human interest stories whose only son was brutally murdered at the age of eight by a person who was never apprehended. He becomes interested in, and begins to explore, the case of Katherine Carr, a woman who disappeared twenty years earlier. Added to the poignancy is a child dying of progeria, whom he befriends. Together, they explore Katherine Carr's story. Supernatural elements blend with random facts throughout this novel.
