Produktbeschreibung
Rob Wheat is 55 years old. He has had a stroke in the past year and has an accelerating problem with alcohol. When a young Ukrainian woman he works with at an Outer Banks restaurant disappears, he becomes determined to find her. This quest, begun without resources or help, gradually broadens into a dangerous journey from the barrier island of North Carolina to the battlefield of Gettysburg, Pa., and then back again. Through this journey, and with the help of a woman he has only just met, and whose motives are somewhat of a mystery to both of them, he gradually comes to grips with himself and the reasons that compel him to get to the bottom of her disappearance. As he returns to the Banks, the threads of the mystery come together just as a large and dangerous hurricane presses its arrival on the fragile exposed thread of land.
