A Beacon in the Light is a journey into the photographic mind of a newly blind man. Haunted by the indelible memories of what he saw as a child when he could, William has spent his adult life far away from his home in Ely, Minnesota. After a series of sudden disappearances shock the traumatized suburb once again, he returns there in an effort to discover what he missed about the murders so long ago.
When he stumbles on the body of a man in the woods, he'll need to use his near-perfect memory in effort to escape the pursuing killers, and at once, to solve the lingering mystery of the decade's-old cold case he privately thought resolved.
This is the story of a man who cannot forget nor escape his past, but who may use it to escape death, and to perhaps find redemption at last.
