Description

A suspense story of high intellectual caliber, this begins with the return of an unwanted son at the time his father is on his death-bed. His mother will not permit him to see his father in his last moments, and he is estranged from every member of the family. Why? What had he ever done? The key apparently is in an event that happened in the potting shed when he was fourteen years old. The son's mind is a blank on the subject; his mother is silent; his psychiatrist meets a stone wall. Beginning with the widow of the old gardener, proceeding to the church where his uncle is pastor, and ending in a family Christmas reunion, the son piece3 together the total intelligence about that dark event in the potting shed.
