Eleven-year-olds Nora and Charlotte were best friends. When their
teenage babysitter, Rose, disappeared under mysterious circumstances,
the girls decided to investigate. But their search--aided by paranormal
theories and techniques gleaned from old Time-Life books--went nowhere.
Years later, Nora, now in her late 20s, is drawn back to her old
neighborhood--and to her estranged friend--when Rose's remains are
finally discovered.
Upset over their earlier failure to solve the possible murder, Charlotte
is adamant that they join forces and try again. But Nora was the last
known person to see Rose alive, and she's not ready to revisit her
troubled adolescence and the events surrounding the disappearance--or
face the disturbing secrets that are already beginning to re-emerge.
