After the death of Inis St. Erme, Dr. Henry Riddle retraces the man's final moments, searching for the moment of his fatal mis-step. Was it when he and his bride-to-be first set out to elope in Vermont? Or did his deadly error occur later--perhaps when they picked up the terrifying sharp-toothed hitch-hiker, or when the three stopped at "Dead Bridegroom's Pond" for a picnic? As he searches for answers, Riddle discovers a series of bizarre coincidences that leave him questioning his sanity and his innocence. After all, he too walked those wild, deserted roads the night of the murder, stranded and struggling to get home to New York City. The more he reflects, his own memories become increasingly uncertain, arresting him with nightmarish intensity and veering into the irrational territory of pure terror--that is until an utterly satisfying solution emerges from the depths, logical enough to send the reader back through the narrative to see the clues they missed

Exploring the fabric of American society, the authors examine its structure and functionality by posing critical questions about its values and the need for change. They identify five core social values—freedom, prosperity, efficiency, fairness, and democracy—that resonate with many Americans. By challenging readers to reflect on the extent to which these values are realized in contemporary society, the authors propose pathways for addressing pressing social issues and fostering meaningful progress.
