Was there an unseen murder in Hamilton twenty-five years in the past? Matthias Jones begins to wonder what happened to Professor Harrison Mobley decades ago. Did he leave town when of all his enemies descended on his colonial on the common twenty-five years ago? Or was there foul play? Jones has a side road theory that Mobley may have been murdered. Perhaps in his own house. But it’s more complicated. All of the suspects from twenty-five years ago are alive in Hamilton today, some in prominent positions. And someone does not want Jones uncovering the details of what happened one night at his house so long ago.
