Melanie Travis is reveling in her teaching job at
Connecticut's elite Howard Academy, basking in her role as
mother to six-year-old Davey, and thoroughly enjoying the
company of her sexy fiancé Sam. But fate is about to hurl
a few surprises her way.
At Howard Academy, plans are underway for a Spring Pageant
to honor the school's founding a half century earlier, and
Melanie is immersed in the preparations. Hurrying to
retrieve a painting of one of the illustrious co-founders,
she comes upon a disturbing scene: Eugene Krebbs, the
Academy's elderly caretaker is arguing loudly with a girl
half his size. Before Melanie can learn more than the
girl's first name—Jane—she disappears.
It's clear that Jane isn't a student at Howard Academy, so
what is she doing there? Melanie doesn't have a chance to
answer that question before more problems arise. At a
local dog show, an alluring brunette from Sam's past shows
up with the intention of staking her claim on his future.
If that isn't enough, two days later, Krebbs is discovered
stabbed to death right on the school grounds.
Now Melanie is embroiled in a full-fledged homicide
investigation as she tries to find out who's added murder
to the school's curriculum. Although her first suspect is
Jane, there's more than one Howard Academy staff member
who is suddenly acting as if he has something to hide. And
as Melanie's trail leads her dangerously closer to the
truth, she must race against time to track down a cunning
killer before she becomes the next victim to be
hushed...forever.
