Book Synopsis: A promising young painter, Hawkins Shortreed, and his friend, a gifted sculptor, happen upon an abandoned seaside farm. The stately Eighteenth Century farmhouse, a barn, an overgrown graveyard, a contending granite cliff, and the surging ocean create strong illusions of past times and ghosts of past lives. How unsuspecting the artists are of the mystery and the danger attached to this idyllic property two and a quarter centuries before...
mystery and danger which they stumble into. As bits of the mystery come together, so do misty hints of a legendary treasure which induces a burgeoning threat of danger at the hand of a powerful adversary.
The remarkable reappearance of Hawkins' childhood sweetheart blossoms into more than romance. She becomes the innocent means of involving the two artists with others, some good and some less so, who all play important roles in their lives and involve them in the fate of a beautiful forest.
Can the forest be saved? Can they solve the mystery and survive the clandestine physical danger and machinations secretly threatened by a powerful foe?
Follow these youthful, inexperienced artists as the present interweaves with the past and their innocent guilelessness is entwined by menacing evil.
Autobiography: Dr. Baldwin practiced medicine in New England for 32 years, the last 16, prior to his retirement, in Maine. He and his wife Roberta skied the lovely mountains of New Hampshire and Maine and in their small sailboat, spent countless happy days in the Atlantic Ocean off the Maine Coast. Together, they spent many years designing, engineering and building their rustic home on 30 wooded acres. Dr. Baldwin has published several medical articles and has recently turned his hand to works of general interest. The Gibbs' Place Mystery is the first work to exit the pipeline of his imagination.
