Synopsis

Ten years ago, retired astronaut Jim Mayfield closed himself up inside Bear Creek Inn, and he hasn't been seen since.

Just when the small town of Bear Creek had almost forgotten about their reclusive and mysterious resident, a man from out-of-town flies in on a private jet to meet with the astronaut. The visit prompts the good people of the small town to begin asking questions. Who is Jim Mayfield? Why did he lock himself away? And who is the stranger that visited him? While the small town asks these questions, the most puzzling thing of all occurs when Bear Creek Inn takes in two guests for the first time in ten years.

This was a very good read. The characters were well developed and held my interest throughout the book. Some of the developments took a bit of literary license, but overall I would definitely recommend.
