On a lazy summer day, the sleepy little southern town of Joseph is rudely awakened with the news the body of a young man has been discovered in a nearby marsh … and there is no doubt that he did not die of natural causes.

Now, several elderly patients dressed only in hospital gowns are found wandering the streets of Joseph; filthy, starved and with no memory of where they’ve been or who they are, and no one has come forward to claim them. Can there be a connection between the lost seniors and the murdered man? It’s too much of a coincidence for reporter Michael Broderick. But when an elderly woman is found sitting on the steps of a long-vacant Victorian mansion, Michael can’t help but wonder if she is the key to this puzzling mystery. Can she help him piece together what is happening or is she just as hopelessly confused as the other seniors? With the help of Anna, his former high school classmate, Michael hopes to unravel the mystery, but it is more complicated than he expected. Even more unexpected is his growing attraction to Anna; a distraction he doesn’t need. Michael must solve the murder, save the lost seniors and convince the woman of his dreams that, while he leaves her behind to pursue the story, he is worth waiting for. less
