It's not every day you find out your father was a murderer and a thief...one who wants you dead. When he is killed, Marta tries to absorb those facts as she desperately attempts to clean up the mess her father left in his English mansion. Unsolved mysteries, rooms full of stolen antiques, threats on her life, circumspect characters, and his secret past are all funneled into the ugly maze she's been thrown into. Just when she thinks she has something figured out, someone else causes her to take a step backward.
