Yet after a popular young colleague becomes the latest victim of a serial bomber Lees detached response and maladroit behavior lead the FBI the national news media and even his own neighbors to regard him with damning suspicion.Amid campus-wide grief over the murder Lee receives a cryptic letter from a figure out of his past. The letter unearths a lifetime of shortcomings  toward his dead wife his estranged only daughter and a long-denied son. Caught between his guilty recollections and the scrutiny of the murder investigation determined to face his tormentor and exonerate himself Lee sets off on a journey that will bring him face-to-face with his past  and that might even win him redemption.
