When Katharine Culhane, a successful writer of fiction and historical works, died leaving behind an unpublished memoir, her literary executor, Elizabeth Fritz, discovered the memoir and undertook to publish it. It tells a story of a young reporter in Prosperity, Indiana, in the post World War II years, and a special friendship between Katharine and a Russian émigré, Madam Anna Suvorov. Fifty years later Katharine finds a letter from Madam Anna that suggests her death may have been due to foul play. Returning to Prosperity, reconnecting with old acquaintances, and asking questions about Madam Anna’s death, Katharine finds the truth and visits her own form of justice on the perpetrators.
