Summary:"Whisper Ridge -- Home to Dreams -- November 6, 1992 -- April 27, 1996" --so reads the strange epitaph carved beside the door of the home called Whisper Ridge, a multimillion-dollar piece of architectural majesty that once housed the beginnings of a unique program for paroled murderers... Private investigator Lincoln Perry's first involvement with the house and its legacy comes when Parker Harrison -- a convicted killer and former tenant of Whisper Ridge -- asks him to find Alexandra, who disappeared with her husband after the failure of the program. Disconcerted and embarrassed by his own immediate mistrust of Harrison, Perry decides to take the request at face value until he discovers that the bones of the Alexandra's husband were discovered at the exact same time Harrison began his quest to locate her.--From publisher description.
