Some people have bad memories of their childhood hometowns; Irene
Stenson has nightmares. As a teenager, Irene came home late one summer
night after being out with her friend Pamela Webb, and discovered that
both of her parents had been killed. Irene refused to believe that her
father murdered her mother and then committed suicide, and soon afterward
left Dunsley. Seventeen years later, Irene, now a journalist, is still
haunted by the events of that fateful night, but a cryptic note from
Pamela induces her to return home. But before Irene has a chance to meet
with her, Pamela dies. When the police rule Pamela's death a suicide,
Irene knows intuitively that there is more to the story. With the
initially unwanted but soon very much welcomed help of sexy Luke Danner,
an ex-marine and the owner of the lodge where Irene is staying, Irene
begins her own unofficial investigation into Pamela's death only to
discover that someone in Dunsley is keeping secrets that could prove to be
deadly. Best-seller Krentz deftly mingles chilling danger and simmering
sexual tension.
