When Jamie Aldrich was eleven years old, she and her siblings spent the summer with her great aunt Elizabeth. She doesn't remember what happened during that visit, and she's avoided Pawhuska, Oklahoma, ever since. But when Elizabeth calls her thirty years later, begging her to come, Jamie arrives to find her great aunt frail and agitated, inexplicably claiming that her entire life was a sham. Now Elizabeth lies in a coma after what looks like an attempt on her life. Although Jamie has no idea who would want to harm her aunt, it's clear that the danger hasn't passed. Threatening notes appear in the house. Jamie meets with several strange "accidents." And the longer she stays, the more she feels like she can't trust anyone in Pawhuska -- not even Sam, the first man she's had feelings for since her husband died. Will Jamie be able to discover the truth before both she and Elizabeth are silenced forever?
