'What can be worse than not knowing?' she asks. But Lowell only wants to forget.When his father dies suddenly and mysteriously on the anniversary of the hijacking, leaving Lowell the key to a locker in an airport terminal, a terrible story unfurls before him.

Отрывок из книги
I have often asked myself what I mean by preparations for the plague … and I think that preparations for the plague are preparations for death. But what is it to make preparations for death? or what preparations are proper to be made for death?
Daniel Defoe, Due Preparations for the Plague (1722)
.....

But weeks pass, and they do not make contact with each other again, and then Dr. Reuben calls Lowell.
