Job description: Move into the late Meg Dunwoodie s posh residence in Laramie (the only one of its kind) and， with sole proprietors of her papers， construct the definitive Meg Dunwoodie biography--without telling anyone anything about it.In this town， rumors abound and secrets are practically nonexistent.Of course， everyone knows that Sally has been hired to poke through old Meg s papers， and a lot of people think that somewhere among them sits a treasure map that could lead to a fortune in gold Krugerrands. Oneway or another， most of Laramie is determined to getinto Meg Dunwoodie s house.There are break-ins， a curious sheriff， gossipy friends， and avaricious faculty at the university. And， if that isn t enough to distract Sally from her research， sexy Hawk Green has shown up to rekindle a romance Sally thought was gone forever.But all this goes deeper and the stakes are higher thanSally could have imagined. As she delves intoMeg s romantic and heartbreaking past as a foreigncorrespondent in Paris during World War II， the forces of good and evil are aligning in Laramie， and Sally realizes that， truly， those who don t learn from their pasts are doomed to repeat it.In the tradition， of Susan Isaacs and Fannie Flagg， Virginia Swift has written a story that breaks the mold， with a cast of finely drawn characters and a heroine whose wit and intelligence are matched only by herdetermination.
