They discover his body, consumed by fire, in his laboratory, and an uncannily beautiful young widow in his house--but nothing compares to the revelation that Jerry and Bark encounter in the deserts of Arizona at the end of the book. \u003ci\u003eIn The Edge of Running Water\u003c\/i\u003e, Julian Blair, a brilliant electrophysicist, has retired to a small town in remotest Maine after the death of his wife.
