When she arrives, she realizes that the house is one she has a dark history with. The man inside claims he doesn’t own the dog or the teenager, and he’s not the man Jane remembers. 

But when she sees a woman in the window, she is convinced that this house holds the key to both her past and the girl’s present. And to unlock both, she has to face the memories she’s buried for the last twenty-five years.

Edison Bixby has a traumatic brain injury that prevents him from keeping his mouth shut. He’s also a brilliant detective who is wealthy and devastatingly handsome. Unfortunately, his inability to control his mouth means he needs an assistant. One who can tolerate his more colorful remarks. 

Enter Wally, a struggling actor desperate for cash. It’s not the role he wants, but Wally commits to the job with enthusiasm. When they’re sent to investigate an accident at a local mall, and Bixby declares it a murder, Wally thinks maybe Bixby’s head injury is more serious than everyone has let on.

After all, how can architecture be a killer? But when more people die, Bixby is certain there’s a killer on the loose. And he needs Wally’s help to find them.

Now, Kate is back in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, working as a consultant for the Division of Perceptual Studies. She’s there to examine six-year-old Henley Haskell regarding her alleged past-life memories. Only, the life Henley claims to remember is Becca’s. 

Kate was never a believer, but Henley remembers things only Becca could know. Each memory takes Kate back in time, forcing her to dig up long-buried secrets as the truth behind what happened that terrible night finally rises to the surface.

There are two things Gretchen Falk knows for sure. She’s the only woman her husband has ever loved. And he would never hurt anybody. At least, that was before he joined his college buddies and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. 

Before artist Frankie Callahan joined them as the only woman on the trek. Before they descended with one less in their party. Before that, the same artist’s New York loft became a blood-drenched crime scene. Before her husband was charged with her murder. 

Now, it’s up to Gretchen to unravel the truth.

Years later, Police Chief Callie Hauser is new on the job and makes an arrest that cracks open a cold case.

As Callie digs deeper, the past crashes into the present, forcing her to question everything she ever thought she knew about right and wrong and the town she grew up in.

When her sister needed money to escape her abusive husband, Marion did the only thing she could think of. She steals money from the ad agency she works for and hops a bus to Florida. 

But before she gets there, the bus breaks down, depositing her in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. Luckily, there are some old cabins for rent on the outskirts of town. She pays cash, chatting with Norm as she checks in.

Where will she go next? And what other trouble will she manage to find along the way?
