Standing dazed on a street corner in Chicago, thinking he should be 2000 miles away. The man he sees in the mirror can't be him – there's got to be some kind of hidden trick in the glass.

If this isn't power production engineer John Shaketon, who is it? Is someone trying to drive him crazy, or maybe kill him? Does he know something that he should forget? Has he forgotten something that he should know – something behind the face that isn't his?

As Gwen Shaketon travels across the county with a man who says he is not John, her husband, the pair pick up a strange man, now working as a short order cook, but who says he used to be a preacher.

A Route 66 adventure, with lost gold mines, an attacking pack of coyotes, and Reverend Jack.
