On an overcast morning in May of last year, a little girl was running ahead of her mother along a beach. She noticed a mound among seaweed and dashed to investigate. It was a body. The body of a man in a wetsuit. A vechicle parked nearby led to identification of the body. The vehicle was later sold to a family. Several months later, while renovating it they found a bundle of papers inside the roof lining. The story in those papers is the story of this book. (Back cover.)
