Overview
Finding people: this is what Lew Griffin excels at as a retired private investigator. The tragic irony is that he can't find his own missing son. Dreams, memories and reality become intertwined as Griffin is asked again to find the missing.
Lew Griffin is a survivor, a black man in New Orleans, a detective, a teacher, a writer. Having spent years finding others, he has lost his son—and himself in the process. Now a derelict has appeared in a New Orleans hospital claiming to be Lewis Griffin and toting a copy of one of Lew's novels. Learning the truth is a quest that will take Griffin into his own past while he tries to deal in the present with a search for three missing young men.
