The Secret of the Virgin

January 1987. Near the town of Small Plains, the naked body of a young woman is found in a terrible snowstorm. No one can identify her and she is buried under an unmarked gravestone. Seventeen years later, the mysterious dead girl has become a local myth; her grave is visited by people who believe that 'the Maiden' has healing powers.
The day after her body was found, Mitch Newquist disappeared without a trace. His disappearance has never been solved. When he suddenly returns to Small Plains, the moment of truth literally presents itself.
