It took me until today, but I finally figured it out! I thought I read The Inheritance years ago. Not so! I read A Long Fatal Love Chase (written by Louisa May Alcott in 1866, published in 1995).

Type this into Google ("Stephen King" "Long Fatal Love Chase" Alcott), then click on the second link down--should begin www.nytimes!
