Nobody could have predicted what happened on the Chester A. Arthur high school choir trip to Chicago. Not even the murderer. Together with his secretarial companion, hopeless lover, and lifetime rival, James McCauley investigates his own death, learning a little bit about fate, forgiveness, and significance along the way.
