Peculiar Ideas

by Catherine Vance

"Milledgeville lunatic revives dead man " When Tess Flanagan discovers a 1925 newspaper clipping among her late mother's papers, she figures the lunatic in the headline must be the grandfather she never knew. With her best friend, Ray, Tess sets out on a thousand-mile odyssey to Georgia, hoping to learn more about the man who struggled with alcoholism, deserted his pregnant wife and somehow ended up a miracle worker in an insane asylum. A century earlier, Michael Flanagan is looking for his sister. She disappeared at the age of five from a beach in Massachusetts and he's hoping it had nothing to do with the Mongolian talisman he stole from a dead man. In this tale of two generations-full of twists, buried secrets, and trompe l'oeil-all will be revealed in the quaint town of Milledgeville, Georgia.
