Amidst the Ancient Trees
In 1924, COMMISSIONER CARPE of the Vermont State Police mourned the death of his daughter under mysterious circumstances. The official report stated that the girl had died of suicide by drowning at a woodside lake in the Green Mountain National Forest, but the body had never been recovered. The loss turned Carpe into a wreck for months, and it was only by the good graces of the governor that he retained his post. He was consoled by his friend DETECTIVE RYAN, a private investigator whom Carpe had hired to look into his daughter’s death—or disappearance.
