A woman's murder is only the beginning as a daughter races to unravel
the maze of secrets her father left behind--before she becomes the next
victim--in the latest gripping novel from Sara Blaedel, #1
internationally bestselling author with over 4 million copies sold
worldwide.
After suddenly inheriting a funeral home from her father--who she hadn't
heard from in decades--Ilka Jensen has impulsively abandoned her quiet
life in Denmark to visit the small town in rural Wisconsin where her
father lived. There, she's devastated to discover her father's second
family: a stepmother and two half sisters she never knew existed. And
who aren't the least bit welcoming, despite Ilka's efforts to reach
out.
Then a local woman is killed, seemingly the unfortunate victim of a home
invasion turned violent. But when Ilka learns that the woman knew her
father, it becomes increasingly clear that she may not have been a
completely random victim after all.
The more Ilka digs into her father's past, the more deeply entangled she
becomes in a family drama that has spanned decades and claimed more than
one life--and she may be the next victim...
