Former New York Times reporter Jack McMorrow has opted for the quiet life of rural Maine. He's still trying to figure out what to do with his life when an old friend contacts him with a proposition for an upscale New England magazine article. With his money dwindling and inertia setting in, McMorrow agrees. But what starts as a simple assignment rapidly turns his peaceful existence upside down. His research on unwed teenage mothers uncovers the one success story in an otherwise grim picture: a teenage mother named Missy Hewitt who gave her daughter up for adoption. But within twenty-four hours Missy is found dead. The facts don't add up and McMorrow is left with only questions. Who arranged for the adoption? Where is Missy's baby? And who has a reason to kill to keep all these questions unanswered?
