THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE
When quiet, shy Amelia Jones reads a desperate message that has
fallen out of a barrel organ in the antique shop she just bought,
she can''t forget the words, "They''re going to kill me soon..."
Armed only with the woman''s first name and the note written years
before, Amelia begins a journey into the past, a search that takes
her from the protective cocoon she''s wrapped herself in to a
precarious world where nothing is the way it seems, where fear is
second nature, and dark secrets just might uncover murder--her
own....
