Aprašymas

Three days after Christmas, the elderly Mrs. Evelyn Massey is found dead in her home, a victim of old age and heart failure. The case looks open-and-shut to Sergeant Alice Morrow, until traces of poison are found in Mrs. Massey's blood. Then, the remains of a body some sixty years deceased are discovered in her basement.

To solve these murders, committed many decades apart, Morrow recruits the help of former NYPD homicide detective Hugh Mercer, with whom she has developed a professional and personal relationship. Together, they unearth stunning truths about Evelyn Massey's life, a dead lover from her youth, and other disappearances over the past sixty years. Was a serial killer quietly at work in this Ontario town? Could the villain -- or villains -- still be among its citizens, hidden in plain sight? And is Alice Morrow's great secret somehow connected to it all?
