Robert Campbell, a respected and beloved high school English teacher, is leading a quiet life in early retirement when a neighbor notices several newspapers lying on his front porch, untouched. He searches the house and finds nothing disturbed-except that Campbell isn't there, and clearly hasn't been for a while. With public concern growing, police launch an investigation, and after weeks of trying, turn up nothing: no suggestions of foul play; no encouraging leads; no clues at all. His friends are worried, rumors are multiplying, the town is becoming traumatized, and tensions are reaching the breaking point. Something has to give. In this fifth Lew Travis mystery, the seventy-two-year-old curmudgeon is faced with this dire situation, set in his old gold-rush town in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

Curious why the man gave him so much money, he follows the man and soon discovers that the stranger is from another world and has come to study our world.

In the dead of night, while Los Angeles sleeps, a solar flare sparks outward from the sun and streaks toward the earth. As the solar phenomenon sweeps over the city it creates a rift in the quantum time-stream, leaving a bizarre trail of events in its wake. An elderly woman steps into her kitchen and is shocked to find her cat, which had died years before, now staring at her. A man enters his garage only to find a piece of his favorite car which was junked some thirty years before. And in the Westwood Memorial Park Cemetery, the most bizarre event of all unwinds, as a crypt suddenly shakes and rattles and pops open - and from it emerges a blond, wearing the very lime-green Pucci dress she had been buried in. Just as beautiful as the very day she had died in 1962, Marilyn emerges from her grave. Stunned and confused, she soon comes to realize that by some force of nature she is alive and the story which unravels as she pursues her new life, and the truth which she reveals about her death, becomes a thriller to the end.
