    1924. John Olson left his home in Kootenai, Idaho for a sales trip to Spokane, expecting to return in two days. Instead he disappeared; his personal effects found strewn along the south bank of the Spokane River. 
    Meanwhile a hobo dressed in a business suit is rousted from a freight train. He has no idea where he is and, incredibly, has no idea who he is. He assumes an alias and works odd jobs while he searches for himself. Lonely, and with no one to turn to, he writes about his trials and his turmoil in a diary. 
    Back in Kootenai, Helen Olson raises the family, agonizing about what happened to John. Scandalous rumors and a deathly ill child add to her travails. 
    Based on newspaper articles, family lore, and the diary of an amnesiac, 85 Days is a captivating tale of doubt, despair, self-discovery and triumph.

    Former journalist, now mystery writer, Leah Nash receives a heartfelt email from Marianne, a reader she's never met. Marianne's sister Celia is in prison for the murder of her married lover, Eric. She begs Leah to save Celia from serving life for a crime she didn't commit. 
     
     
     
    However, Leah is pretty sure Celia did kill Eric. The case against her was very strong and the jury delivered the guilty verdict in less than an hour. But Marianne's desperation strikes a chord in Leah due to the guilt she feels over failing to save her own sister. 
     
     
     
    Peeling back the layers of Eric's life, Leah uncovers multiple suspects who had reasons to want Eric dead. All of them—Eric's wife, sister, a bankrupted neighbor, a political adversary, and a cuckolded husband—are concealing secrets. As Leah navigates a maze of lies and alibis, each clue only deepens the mystery. 
     
     
     
    Leah becomes so enmeshed in saving Celia that when she begins to receive anonymous messages, she attributes them to a fan with boundary issues. The county sheriff, who happens to be her boyfriend, isn't so sure. But as Leah works to prove Celia's innocence and bring the real killer to light, is a stalker waiting to close in? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
