Emma-Joy Ferris likes mall cop work, even though it’s a bit more humdrum than the military policing she did in the army. But there’s no time to be bored when someone ‘liberates’ a 15-foot python from the Herpetology Hut, and a mannequin turns out to be a very real corpse.

Abigail Sutton’s beloved husband walks out one night, doesn’t return, and two years later is found dead, a victim of a long ago crime. It’s made her sympathetic to the missing and their families.Starting her new life, Abigail moves to small town and buys a fixer-upper house left empty when old Edna Summers died. Once it was also home to Edna’s younger sister, Emily, and her two children, Jenny and Christopher, who, people believe, drove away one night, thirty years ago, and just never came back. But in renovating the house Abigail finds scraps of paper hidden behind baseboards and tucked beneath the porch that hint the three could have been victims of foul play.
