Sometimes, all that matters is being in the right place at the right time.

Rami knows the storm should have killed him. Very much alive, though slightly waterlogged, he can't shake the feeling that he didn't survive on his own merits. He had help.

When a person of interest in the legal matter he's been hired to untangle reveals a strong resemblance to the man who may have saved his life, venturing into uncharted waters becomes the least of Rami's problems.

A loner living in the shadow of a once-great house, Malcolm is a hard man to pin down. His seemingly impossible feats of heroism have certainly saved lives, but the people of Envern, Maine, are only too eager to allege he had something to do with his employer's death. Leading a secretive existence under a cloud of suspicion should scupper Malcolm's appeal, but Rami has secrets of his own and his relationship with danger has always been complicated.
