This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Silas Deemer kept his store so faithfully that the people of Hillbrook set their lives by him — and not even death seemed reason enough to close up shop. Weeks after they laid him in the ground, a respectable banker walks home past the darkened storefront and finds the old man behind his counter, ledger open, ready to sell a jug of sirup as if nothing had happened. But the jug will not stay bought, and when the whole town crowds in to see for themselves, they learn that some habits outlast the grave — and some witnesses should never have looked.
