Reverend Clare Fergusson and police chief Russ Van Alstyne soon discover the secrets of someone who is desperate to stop the sale. n nSaturday, November 14, 5:00 A.M. n nIn the small Adirondack town of Millers Kill, an old lumberman sits in the dark with his gun across his knees. Not far away, an unemployed logger sleeps off his bender from the night before. The owner of the towns last paper mill tosses in his bed. And a young woman, one of three heirs to the 250,000-acre Great Camp, wakes alone in darkness, bound and gagged. n nChief of Police Russ Van Alstyne wants nothing more than a quiet day of hunting in the mountains on his fiftieth birthday. His wife needs to have the towns new luxury resort ready for its gala opening night. The Reverend Clare Fergusson expects to spend the day getting St. Albans Church ready for the bishops annual visit. Her long-distance suitor from New York expects some answers about their relationship during his weekend in town. n nIn Millers Kill, where everyone knows everyone and all are part of an interconnected web of blood or acquaintance, one persons troubles have a way of ensnaring others. What begins as a simple case of a woman lost in the woods leads to a tangle of revenge, blackmail, assault, kidnapping, and murder. As the hours tick by, Russ and Clare struggle to make sense of their towns plunge into chaos---and their own chaotic emotions. n nSomething terrible waits in the ice-rimed mountains cradling Millers Kill. Something that wont be content with just one death---or two. . . n nIn To Darkness and To Death, Julia Spencer-Fleming continues her moving story of the way a small town, as well as a great city, can harbor evil, and the struggle of two honest people to deal with the ever-present threat of their feelings for one another.n
