Twelve-year-old Jenny Newhall meets her natural mother, Linda Emery, but the reunion is short-lived--Linda is soon found murdered, and Jenny's adoptive father is the prime suspect.
When her father is murdered 15 years after being convicted of killing her mother, struggling actress Nina Avery must dig into the past to find the real killer before she becomes the next victim.
On being told that her estranged mother has killed herself and her severely disabled young son, Eden Radley heads to Cleveland, Ohio, in search of answers. She discovers there was so much she didn't know about her mother and her troubled, enigmatic stepfather, Flynn. But of one thing Eden is increasingly certain: her mother's death was no suicide.
