Marjorie Crowe lives in a cottage on the edge of the village. With her few friends long gone, she's regressed into a quiet, almost mute, world of her own. Her daily strolls are the stuff of local legend. Twice a day, at the same time and the same pace each day, she walks. The locals can set their watches by her. She even goes in one door of the local pub and out the other, as if it isn't there. When Marjorie is seven minutes late walking through the back door of The Foresters Arms, it's noticed. That's the same day that 11-year-old Charlie McKee disappears. That's the day everyone wants to know what Marjorie knows.
