Homer lives alone on a farm outside Hendersonville, North Carolina. He is delighted when Jeremiah Perry comes to him looking for work. Jeremiah is a good worker and even helps Homer renovate his farmhouse, but sometimes Jeremiah drives away in his truck for several days at a time and always returns to Homer's farm. Then young college age girls begin disappearing on the fifteenth and thirtieth of each month that autumn, the very days when Jeremiah goes off in his truck. The local law officer, Sheriff Coles, is concerned by this coincidence and when Jeremiah finds one of the missing girls, Lisa Patterson, badly hurt and freezing in Homer's barn, the investigation begins seriously for one of the girls has been found dead by the local train tracks. Is Jeremiah the perpetrator of these crimes and will the other girls be found?
Author Laura Burke has created a good murder mystery novel. Her characters are believable although mentioning frequently a character's last name and their special part in the plot would be helpful. Federal law enforcement officials will be upset at being portrayed as not totally effective in the search for the missing girls. Hints about the actual murderer of the girls could be sprinkled throughout the story rather than just introducing him at the end. Otherwise, Laura Burke has a good book to his credit.
