Ellen's trip to Colonial Williamsburg gets complicated. She's researching an article about the people who work there. But somebody is making things difficult for those people. At first just puzzling, then malicious, then seriously nasty. The local police and the administrators of the Historical Area can't agree whether all these events are connected, or what they should do.

Ellen's daily updates alarm Geoff, and he rides down for consultation and company. During the two days it takes him to bicycle from Roanoke to Williamsburg, things take an even nastier turn. He's almost too late.


Geoffrey and Ellen live in Roanoke, Virginia, in the mountains north of town. Geoff is a poet who teaches creative writing at Hollins University and Roanoke College. Ellen is a free-lance travel writer, frequently published in TravelAmerica. Geoff travels with Ellen, when his schedule allows and she can persuade him to come. With an uncanny frequency they find themselves involved in murder investigations, often involving deaths not recognized as crimes.
