Lexie Thach is a young woman who was raised in a one bedroom apartment above a delicatessen by a cold, indifferent aunt who avoided discussing Lexie's family. After graduating college and a series of menial jobs, she is a successful author and her main objective is to move from her tiny, cramped apartment and buy a large roomy house to call home. There is a glitch, or so she thinks, in her computer that causes it to turn itself on and display a spacious mansion. The magnificent house fits Lexie's dream home to a tee and the page provides detailed instructions to the location of the South Carolina estate. The house haunts Lexie until she and her best friend and agent, Roxie Carter, pack up and start a journey to the south that will change both their lives. The house on Blackbird Lane pulls them into a murder mystery, supernatural involvement, and perhaps, if they survive, gives Lexie the answers to her past that she never dreamed existed.
