The events of the book begin with the release and unexpected arrival of Lafe Googins, a murderer and former acquaintance of Judd, who tells him a devastating secret. Described by the publisher's dust jacket as a "distinct contribution to regional literature," the story of timber baron Colonel Judd is as much an exploration into the character and background of Maine as it is a page-turning story. ** AUTHOR John DeMeyer (1909 - 1966), who also went under the pen-name Dana Breed, was born in Abington, Mass., and wrote books set in the state of Maine, where he had spent every summer. Graduating Bowdoin College in 1933, DeMeyer wrote several books and short stories during his lifetime. (cj)
