After years on the police force, Annie Graham never expected that it would be her personal life leaving her physically and emotionally scarred.

While on a break from work, trying to put the pieces of her life back together, the role of caretaker to a beautiful, crumbling mansion in the woods seems like a good escape.

But something about the house puts her on edge, and her suspicions are confirmed when she finds the diary of former resident Alice. The house holds a dark connection to a series of terrible murders committed over one hundred years ago.

And when a search for a missing girl turns into a hunt for a serial killer, Annie fears that history may be repeating itself. But as the past collides with the present, has Annie’s unofficial investigation put her in the killer’s sights?

The first book in the Annie Graham series will have you hooked!
