A long buried secret is unearthed in the woods in this pitch-perfect
WW2 crime mystery.
1914: Sixteen-year-old Etterly, running from something, hides inside the
trunk of a tree and disappears. The police search but find no trace. Her
family and friends wrack their brains, but come up with nothing. And so
slowly life returns to normal. The hole in the tree is boarded up and
the village of Sackwater moves on.
Only Etterly's best friend, Betty, clings to hope, insisting she can
hear her friend calling for help.
1940: A skeleton is discovered buried in the woods. Though most clues
have long since decayed, it is wearing the necklace Etterly had on the
day she went missing.
Long haunted by her friend's fate, Detective Betty Church is determined
to solve the case once and for all.
