He has his own demons too, as he tries to unearth the truth about his father, an Indian doctor who died as Sedd was conceived, and his mother, who was taken by Time when he was a toddler and whom he remembers only as a foxyred sheen in the air.Death stalks this peaceful place, as cracks in the polished surface begin to show. The first to die is the bank manager, who has kept the hotel going on credit, and whose demi se has ominous consequences for the whole district. Then the new bank managers daughter almost literally pesters the life out of Sedd he has trained as a lifesaver, but finds saving people more complicated than he had thought.
