Publisher's Synopsis
What if your darkest secret, something you intentionally kept hidden from others, was about to be uncovered? What would you do to keep it private? A young boy confronts his stepfather outside Evergreen Preferred Theaters after he sees him with a woman other than his mother in an intimate situation. The other woman is shocked to learn the man is married with a son. The man, Thomas Bowie, also known as Thomas Swite, is later found dead inside the Theater. Were these three people somehow involved in his death? With no suspects found by the police, Lloyd Hyde, the Theater's film projectionist, decides to investigate the crime. His boss, Mr. Calvert, someone who shows signs of being in a profession too long, tries to discourage him against the idea, even threatening to terminate his employment if he persists. Is he protecting a secret? Betsy, the Theater's sexy and manipulative employee, plans another tactic to stop Lloyd. She has her own reasons. Mix in a ghost, a capable yet callous police officer at the end of his uneventful career, an emotionally naïve needy young woman, and a brash young female executive hopeful. As Lloyd persists in his bravery, he gets closer to uncovering the murderer than he realizes as several secrets are revealed. Finally, on North County Airport Road, the final secrets are uncovered.
