This is a fine work by Wells Hastings; very enjoyable reading with a decent plot, well defined characters and excellent descriptions of the action by her. A young professor meets a pretty young woman he had met previously on a train. He decides to miss his destination in order to get to know her better. They get into an accident; she is somewhat shaken but he takes her home to her house and then is mysterolusly ushered out of the house in the middle of the night for reasons unknown to him. The story is about him trying to find out why he was treated the way he was. This isn't a typical mystery with bodies all around and some clues for hidden buried treasure. But it does take quite a while for the reader to get the answer to the riddle.The only hang up I had was that the professor is too trusting of the heroine, and you almost want to say to the guy to "man up" and get some answers or just quit. If you can get over that feeling, and of couse he has to act that way for the plot to work, then you can enjoy this book. 4 stars; let me know if you agree.
