The House on the Knoll and a Senator's Secret Remains

In 19th century Washington Senator Strate defends Library of Congress plans while a hidden tragedy in the old Calder house unfolds. Grace Calder’s disappearance, a secret kept by her uncle Col Calder, and a courtroom confession drive a political and personal reckoning as dredging reveals a fatal truth. The narrative traces ambition, romance, betrayal, and a final act of justice aligned with a higher law.
