On a warm summer evening, on an island off the coast of Maine, five teenagers jump off a dock to go scuba diving.
Four come out alive.
- Dede St. John, a beautiful young artist
- Whitney Chapin, a preppy, thoughtless young man

- And Sport Abbott, whose parents dream of a marriage between their daughter and Talbot.

In the guilt ridden years that follow, each one of the survivors pays for the thoughtless moment.
Nine years later, returning to her beloved Ledge Island to spend a year writing her doctoral thesis, Sport must learn to live as a neighbor with the parents of "Nevah" Wright, the teenager who came up dead that night.
Sport also meets the new island doctor, Steve Schwartz, who carries a load of his own guilt.
As months go by amid the islanders' whispers and gossip, Sport senses that she is being stalked. When the families of four survivors gather on the island to celebrate Christmas, it's Sport's time to pay.

Praise for Mildred Davis'
The Room Upstairs
"We defy you to put this one down before you've discovered why Kitten Corwith never left her upstairs room. If there had never been a 'novel of suspense' before, the phrase would have had to be coined to describe this story."
-San Francisco Chronicle
Praise for Katherine Roome's
Letter Of The Law
"Novels that display so high a quality of prose and sensibility are rare these days."
-Washington Post
