The closing weeks of 1979. A new decade is on the horizon and Alan Albright's
world changes forever when he sends a Christmas card to Jennifer Tavistock, a close friend he knew in St. Andrews, Scotland
during the summer of 1969.
Unbeknownst to Albright, his seemingly inconsequential gesture has significant repercussions.
Jennifer Tavistock comes from an old, wealthy Boston family, whose fortune was built on shipping in the 1700s. Her father is Martyn
Tavistock, famed cardiologist, who contacts Albright the moment he receives Albright's card, demanding to find out what Albright
knows about his daughter. Albright knows nothing, since ten years have passed since last he last spoke to Jennifer. Jennifer
Tavistock, as it turns out, has been missing for two years. Jennifer had spent time prior to her disappearance on genealogical
research, particularly on the maternal side of her family.
Meanwhile, in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, we meet the widow.
Known as a classical pianist whose late husband was a Member of Parliament, the widow has a powerful and far-reaching ability to stop
anyone who might be unlucky enough to get in her way. The widow receives standing ovations for her classical music performances while
plotting the demise of those who would pose a threat to the Secret of St. Andrews.
When Albright gets an offer from Dr.
Tavistock to find Jennifer, his life becomes endangered, for the widow has spies in the oddest places including someone in Boston who
notifies her at once of Albright's intentions.
From Champaign-Urbana to Boston to Scotland the mystery unfolds to a climax in
Jackson, Tennessee when we learn once and for all the truth about the Secret of St. Andrews.
