Klappentext

A crime writer. A cold case. Will she survive to tell the story?

Since the sudden and tragic death of her partner, bestselling crime author Serena Winters hasn't written a word. With deadlines looming, she packs up her grief and escapes from New York City to a secluded clifftop house in small-town California, hoping the change of scenery will cure her writer's block.

But as news of her arrival spreads, Serena finds herself facing strange accusations that she's here to cash in on the house's history. When she uncovers the chilling story of a young family who mysteriously vanished from the very same house thirty years earlier, she can't help asking more questions...

Someone in the local community doesn't want the past dug up, though. Someone willing to push Serena to the limits of her sanity to keep the truth buried. Caught in a spiraling campaign of intimidation, and harboring a dark secret of her own, Serena soon finds herself in the kind of danger she usually only writes about...
