From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson comes
an atmospheric and riveting novel of suspense that uncovers
the horrifying secrets buried within a ramshackle house. . .
Vowing to make a fresh start, Sarah McAdams has come home to
renovate the old Victorian mansion where she grew up. Her
daughters, Jade and Gracie, aren't impressed by the rundown
property on the shores of Oregon's wild Columbia River. As
soon as they pull up the isolated drive, Sarah too is beset
by uneasy memories--of her cold, distant mother, of the
half-sister who vanished without a trace, and of a long-ago
night when Sarah was found on the widow's walk, feverish and
delirious.
Ever since the original mistress of the house plunged to her
death almost a century ago, there have been rumors that the
place is haunted. As a girl, Sarah sensed a presence there,
and soon Gracie claims to see a lady in white running up the
stairs. Still, Sarah has little time to dwell on ghost
stories, between overseeing construction and dealing with
the return of a man from her past.
But there's a new, more urgent menace in the small town. One
by one, teenage girls are disappearing. Frantic for her
daughters' safety, Sarah feels her veneer cracking and the
house's walls closing in on her again. Somewhere deep in her
memory is the key to a very real and terrifying danger. And
only by confronting her worst fears can she stop the
nightmare roaring back to life once more. . .
