But as she tries to untangle the secrets which lies simmering beneath the town's surface, Ginny must confront childhod ghosts and new demons. Having sworn to find Danny's killer, she sifts through suspects ranging from the town's resident homeless Vietnam vet to Manhattan hipsters to Danny's own stepfather. But when the town's first murder in recent memory gives way to a second and then a third, Ginny must race to find the killer's identity - before she becomes victim no. 4.
