Karen Walker is an ex-homicide detective slowly recovering from the trauma of an automobile accident in which she was injured and her husband was killed when a drunk driver struck the car she was operating. After a year of surgeries and attempts to come to terms with her feelings of guilt, she finds herself living the narrow life of a semi-recluse. Her seclusion comes to an end when an old friend from college, Clarissa Hammett, asks Karen to help in the search for her missing sister, Justine. Karen agrees, and she goes to live alone in the family’s summer home on the coast of southern Maine, which Justine was occupying at the time of her disappearance. Karen even goes one step further and takes on Justine’s job as hostess in a local restaurant, hoping to learn more about the missing woman’s life from her co-workers. Conversations with the sister’s estranged husband, her present boyfriend, and a mentally disturbed young girl on the beach, lead Karen to believe that Justine’s disappearance was not voluntary and that, if still alive, she may desperately need help.

I was born in Passaic, New Jersey, and grew up in the nearby city of Clifton.  After graduating from Clifton High School, I attended the Newark College of Arts and Sciences branch of Rutgers University where I received an AB in political science.  I went on to graduate school at Cornell University where I earned an MA in government.  After serving in the Army in Vietnam, I returned to graduate school at Columbia University where I got an MA and PhD in philosophy.  For the next ten years, I held a variety of jobs, most in the field of education.  I also got married and began writing fiction.  I later started teaching philosophy at Western New England University in Springfield, Massachusetts where I am today a professor emeritus.  During my time teaching I continued to write mysteries, first for young people, then for adults, as I still do today.  My stories combine suspense, romance, and humor with a hopefully thought-provoking mystery.
