The Revenant combines historical fact, romance, and psychological suspense to determine the long unknown identity of the female stranger of Alexandria, Virginia. A young journalist, Ben Joliet, is assigned to do a feature story on the mysterious woman who arrived in Alexandria in the 18th century with a male companion, took ill, and died days later, leaving no clue to her identity. Almost two hundred years later the only evidence left of her existence is an elaborate tombstone in Alexandria’s Christ Church Cemetery and a series of legends that offer competing theories to who she was and how Alexandria became her final resting place. When Ben meets a young woman whose life seems to parallel tat of the stranger the past and present collide in a tale of psychological suspense, romance and erotic tension.
