Publisher's Synopsis
There's a secret behind the parlor wall.
Hunter Russell and Marilyn Shuck live a life of privilege.
He's from an old, rich Southern family; she's fought her way out of poverty and made a fortune as a best-selling romance author.
After ten years of marriage, they buy the perfect house for their perfect life in the perfect Shenandoah Valley town of Ewington, Virginia.
But that perfect house hides a grisly, decades-old mystery, one that Marilyn is determined to solve, even if someone will do anything to keep the secret hidden.
The more Marilyn learns, the more she realizes Ewington is far from the perfect town. Moreover, she's confronted with a reality she's denied too long.
Her own life is nowhere near as idyllic as she's pretended.
