About This Book
A Novel Of Mystery And Redemption
Setting his first novel in the Midwestern community of New Warsaw, psychologist
Peck ( The Road Less Traveled ) focuses on inmates of the Willow Glen nursing
home. This small but fascinating world is soon disrupted by the murder of its
most famous and charismatic resident, spastic quadriplegic Stephen Solaris, who
taps messages with his knuckles on a letter board and is the only non-elderly
resident. Ex-New Yorker Lt. Petri, a fresh recruit to the local police force,
plunges into an investigation, armed with a fistful of preconceptions about
nursing homes and seniors, and is saved from making a false arrest by the
fortunate interference of residents Marion Grochowski and Georgia Bates. Petri
admits his mistake and broadens his search, finally seeking help from Dr.
Kolnietz, Willow Glen therapist. Peck's interest in the metaphysical is well
placed in the nursing home setting, where death is an expected visitor. Yet the
author's examination of virtue is more searching than his consideration of evil,
and some characters experience unconvincing changes of heart. But that should
not deter the reader from enjoying a generally intelligent look at human growth.
