Everyone thought they knew A.E. Leehman, right up until she disappeared in July of 1953. Follow County Detective Bert Williamson, who's keeping secrets of his own, as he calls upon the talents of old Army buddies to help him wend his way through a case well beyond his ability. Working with one cock-sure reporter while barely tolerating another, bucking the district attorney, and forced to surrender the matter to State Police, Williamson discovers there's far more to the story than anybody else realizes. Based in true-crime with sparkling characters, great dialogue, a twisty-turny plot with a jigsaw of facts: faith, love poetry, word games, librarians, and a surprising but logical conclusion all play their part in The Vanishing of A.E. Leehman.
