The Blizzard’s Secret

THE BLIZZARD’S SECRET, by Allan Young Albia is a typical mid-western county seat town of four thousand people -- minus one. It is located near Iowa’s biggest lake, and surrounded by other beautiful lakes and rivers, including the three small fish-filled ponds called Cottonwood Pits. When an early blizzard finally relinquishes what the ponds are hiding, the area will never be the same again. The snow-covered secret not only rewrites the community’s history, but determines its future as well -- and all the residents are affected. Zacharias Popek drives in to visit his favorite clergyman, only to find him in the hospital, and stumbles into a series of events which takes all of his deduction capabilities, plus his physical abilities, to solve the mysteries-while staying alive.
