Samenvatting:

The Snow Globe at The Davenport Hotel: A 1947 Spokane Mystery. In the summer of 1947, Richard and Sandra Wagner are building a bright, hopeful life in Spokane's Lincoln Heights neighborhood. Richard, a Pacific war veteran now rising in the sales ranks of a thriving souvenir map company, and Sandra, devoted mother to their spirited five-year-old daughter Marilyn, find joy in neighborhood friendships and evenings at the elegant Davenport Hotel.

Then Marilyn vanishes.

A substitute teacher, a stranger posing as a nanny, and a trail that ends in silence leave the family shattered. The case grows cold, and Spokane moves on, but the Wagners never do.

Twelve years later, a young busboy at The Davenport Hotel utters a childhood phrase only Marilyn used. Soon after, he proudly shows Richard a snow globe identical to the one his daughter once cherished, carved underneath with Marilyn's initials.

What follows is a quiet, unsettling search that leads to a bend in the river, a long-buried secret, and a question no map can answer:

Do memories ever truly disappear?
