Emma is going home to seek inspiration for her next novel. Upon returning to the sleepy little town of Stillwater after a decade, she immediately senses a dramatic change that seems to go unnoticed by most of her old friends. What is that shiny new pyramid-shaped structure that overlooks the valley? Why are all the residents so ill? And why has it become a crime to report a crime? The answers lie just beyond the county line... Of Stillwater.
