Synopsis

FORGET MY FATE

Special Agent Eric Lund is in Northern Minnesota at Camp Midaywin, but he’s not vacationing. He’s there to investigate a lead on someone who is trying to blackmail a U.S. senator. What he finds is Mr. & Mrs. Fitts, the aged owners of the camp; Verne Anderson, a fellow fisherman; Althea Sharon, an older hiker who is writing her adventures; and Roger Winton and Mart Bryan, two young men who are both interested in fellow-camper Rose Dallam, sometimes writer and wealthy young heiress. Things take a serious turn when the body of woman none of them know is pulled from the lake. When Rose’s half-sister Tevy arrives, Lund has more suspects than he knows what to do with.

About the Author

Ruth Sawtell Wallis was born March 15, 1895 in Springfield, Massachusetts. She graduated from Radcliffe College in 1919 with a degree in English, then went on to graduate studies in anthropology, traveling to France on a research fellowship. She returned to a position in the anthropology department at the University of Iowa, followed by a sociology professorship at Hamline University, but after marrying Wilson Wallis in 1931 was dismissed due to the university’s policy of not hiring two employed academics in the same family. Wallis began writing mysteries in 1943, penning five of them in the next seven years. After moving to Connecticut with her family, she became a sociology lecturer at Annhurst College in 1956, and eventually became a full professor before retiring in 1974. Wallis died on January 21, 1978 in South Woodstock, Connecticut.
