In this fourth Lew Travis mystery, Lew is confronted with the loss of a close friend with whom he worked at the Sienna Sentinel, who recently died in the local hospital under curious circumstances. As Lew begins to collect evidence, he realizes there is reason for suspicion in a number of directions. The seventy-two year-old curmudgeonly "investigative reporter", battling his own demons, pursues clue after clue, which lead him to a homeless camp in the forest and an empty church with a strange occupant. Relying on his dogged determination and canny intuition he pieces together the facts, aided by the sundry cast of characters the readers of this series have come to know.

In his Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein proposed that time was not a fixed entity, but depended on the perspective of the viewer. Experiments that followed confirmed this unlikely claim, proving that time was indeed a variable. What are the implications of this finding? Some of the unsettling possibilities are explored in these ten stories, from a strange building where it's hard to gauge the time, to a young man who seems to be in more than one place, an old professor who has spent decades seeking a way to re-live his lost past, and a busy housewife who prays for more time, only to experience some unexpected consequences. These stories, written with both amusement toward and compassion for their sundry cast of characters, explore the implications of looking at life from different perspectives. Perspectives that might be characterized as...somewhere in the twilight zone.
