About This Book

A young miller left in charge of his father’s rural mill struggles with mounting debts, demanding creditors, and rumors that suggest his parent and the property are threatened. He undertakes a cautious investigation that leads to confrontations with suspicious neighbors and two mysterious strangers, a staged nighttime crime, and physical dangers on lake and in the woods. Alongside a loyal friend and a helpful ally, he gathers facts, survives capture and a perilous pursuit, and uncovers evidence that clears his name and restores the mill’s security, bringing a practical and earned resolution to the community conflict.
