Some Other Place. The Right Place.

It is June. Diana Stoving’s new Porsche has just broken down on the Garden State Parkway, and Diana, twenty-one, freshly graduated from Sarah Lawrence, sits in a dealer’s showroom, waiting for repairs. Bored and impatient, Diana leafs through the local newspaper—and by pure chance reads the news item that will change the course of her life, that will launch her on a year’s journey, a year of the strangest adventures she could ever hope to endure, suffer and enjoy. For it is this news item that leads her to meet Day Whittacker, a shy, eighteen-year-old Eagle Scout, who his high school English teacher, experimenting with ‘age regression’ claims is the reincarnation of a hell-raising countryman named Daniel Lyam Montross, a man who had lived a wild, romantic life and died a violent death—twenty years earlier.

Together, Day and Diana disappear from New Jersey, setting out to explore the life and investigate the death of the man known as Daniel Lyam Montross. Through ghost towns and abandoned villages they journey, becoming in turn, amateur archaeologists, naturalists, sleuths, historians, and inevitably and ultimately, lovers.

And always the presence of Daniel Lyam Montross is with them. Dead, he is fated to die again. Is one or both of them also fated to die?

One of Harington’s most devious narratives, and a precursor to the Stay More cycle.
