In 1943 a child died, apparently by accident. Now, forty years later, his teacher had hired Angel Graham to find out why. As he began locating each of the surviving pupils, a pattern began to emerge in which were interwoven the threads of madness, revenge, and stark terror
PI Angel Graham took the job at the request of his pregnant girl friend. An elderly woman, a paraplegic because of a car accident, wants him to find the surviving members of the last class she taught before the wreck that confined her to a wheel chair.
She'd done some of the work herself, but a couple she couldn't find. Some had died, one in Korea, anothe of a heroin overdose in Philadelphia.
And one drowned in a pond in 1943.
Everything led back to that death. She wanted that death explained. it had been ruled an accident, but she didn't believe it. The boy had been a good swimmer and was fully dressed when found.
Angel starts his investigation.
A murderer suddenly begins stalking the people involved and Angel's family as well!
