When Abigail Stone visited the local historical museum she wandered into an area being renovated for a new permanent exhibit. The volunteer working there told her that the brick wall she was examining had once been the outer wall of the museum. It had been covered when an addition to the museum was added in 1948.While talking to the volunteer about the exhibit that would eventually be housed in this large area, Abigail noticed an irregularity in the brick work of the recently uncovered outer wall. Upon closer examination, she found a loose brick and, behind it, a note.Some time later a couple who were renovating their very old house found a packet of letters tied together wedged behind a rafter in the attic. Because the top few letters appeared to be written by the librarian nearly a hundred years before, they brought the letters to the museum. The note Abigail found had been written by the same person. She did some research to discover who the writer was and to whom he was writing. She uncovered both a love story and an unsolved 100-year old crime.

His call came in marked 'unknown'. I don't usually answer calls like that. Whatever possessed me to answer this time? The area code, I think. Jan, can you come to see me? It's important. Without thinking, I said, Of course. Where are you now? When? I didn't hesitate when I answered him. It's been months since I have talked with him and he sounds anxious.

Her mother sings with the choir and had come to church earlier leaving Lily and her step-father to come later. By the time they came to church it was pouring down rain. Lily did not want to be carried in and begged to be dropped off at the front door like the old ladies who didnt want to get too wet running in from the parking lot. She never made it into the church. There were no clues. No stranger had been seen inside or outside the church. A thorough search of the neighborhood provided nothing. Lilys step-father was questioned but dismissed as to fault.

Attorneys may well be the most maligned professional group on the planet. However, there are a few attorneys who actually deserve some or all of the jokes told. This is a story about one of those ''deserving'' attorneys-who, for some reason, preferred to be called a lawyer. Franklin Chase had an ego aout the size of the State of Arizona. He believed himself to be the biggest, most intelligent attorney in the Town of Payson. His secretary, Margie Bloom, knew the true man. She was aware of his many and various shortcomings. Margie often said that Frank would bend the law so far she was afraid he''d break it. It was not until she was closing the office for good that she discovered he had broken the law, several times.Franklin Chase believed also that he was ''God''s gift to woman'' and frequently made untoward, unwanted advances to women he found attractive. One of those women was Merijean Watson. Merijean moved to Payson when she inherited a house from her Uncle Clarence. She proved to be a worthy adversary in Frank''s little games and that upset the lawyer to lengths unimagined by the normal man. This story also tells that tale.

When she retired, Abigail Stone bought a little house in Vancouver, Washington. She had been drawn to the property by the huge arborvitae hedges on the east and west side of the property. After a moderate wind storm took down one of the trees in the east hedge, Abigail decided it might be wise to have the hedge pruned.The arborist she hired stated he had never seen an arborvitae hedge so tall. It was his guesstimate that the trees were at least 75-years old and had never been pruned. Midway through the pruning of the massive hedge, the arborist stopped work. Wrapped around the ninth tree in the tall, dense hedge was a human skeleton.Abigail Stone has solved several mysteries since she moved to Vancouver. But this was her biggest challenge. Skeletons don''t have pockets to carry identification. She and a reporter from the local newspaper followed many leads and were able to identify the bones as well as solve another mystery connected to them.
