Inscribed "To Jan Darea thanks for your support! Best Greg Gifune 12/05". SYNOPSIS: "The Modest lakeside resort in the small town of Blissful Point, MA once offered an alternative to the crowded beaches of cape Cod. Tourists rented cabins, swam, relaxed and enjoyed the files of surrounding forest in a peaceful and safe environment. Katherine lived there for years with her husband James, a poet, and their cat Barney. They ran the small resort during the hectic spring and summer months, then hunkered down and endured the often brutal and desolate winters in relative isolation. Their lives were uncomplicated, happy and quiet - or so Katherine thought - until one summer morning when the dead body of a young boy is found floating in the lake. From the moment the child accidentally drowns, Katherine watches as her husband slowly begins to lose his grip on reality, spiralling down helplessly into insanity. And then he's gone, vanished from their home without a trace. The authorities drag the lake and search parties comb the woods, but to no avail. James is gone." Packed weight 300gms.
