Set in late-nineteenth-century northern Maine, this story develops unhurriedly, but suspense builds as events come into focus. When Jonathan accompanies his grandfather on a summer photography circuit, he gets caught up in solving a crime that threatens Grandpa's livelihood. Details about photographic techniques are unobtrusively included, and a subplot involving Grandpa and a citified lady adds some depth to the characters.
