In the Vanishing Hour

"Highly recommended for fans of literary suspense." —Independent Book Review

Massachusetts, 1951: When a boy drowns in the Charles River, a family is devastated, and the town of Norumbega is changed forever.

Eight years later, Frances Adams lives in the shadow of her dead brother, Mac. When a local drowning reawakens the childhood tragedy, Frances becomes obsessed with the victim—a woman she befriended only days earlier. Her pursuit of the mystery leads her to a troubled man who also knew the woman, and who holds a tragic secret. As their haunted worlds collide, the mystery unravels and shocking revelations about a long-ago tragedy come to the surface.

Set in the haunting atmosphere of 1950s and 1970s New England, IN THE VANISHING HOUR weaves suspense and mystery into a story about loss, identity, and secrets best left untold.
