When Rue Dunwitty goes back to Amethyst, Texas, it is definitely a trip made more out of a sense of duty than desire, yet on her arrival at her grandmother's house she realizes that something in the town has changed. In the local store's window there is a sign that reads simply, 'Have you seen Dawn?' and with the sign is a picture of a pretty teenage girl. Putting aside all thoughts of the missing girl, Rue begins her visit with her grandmother but the disconcerting sense of menace she first felt at the store refuses to go away - and soon she becomes embroiled in a mystery in which it seems everyone in town knows more about Dawn's disappearance than they are willing to admit.

This is my most autobiographical work, drawing on my own past growing up in a very small Texas town; but the plot is pure contemporary suspense, a real departure for me, and as Gore Vidal said of his novel TWO SISTERS, it's "autobiography done with mirrors."
Steven Saylor is best known as the author of the Roma sub Rosa series set in Ancient Rome and featuring Gordianus the Finder. He divides his time between Berkeley, California, and Austin, Texas.
