Publisher Marketing: From #1 "New York Times" bestselling author Lisa Jackson comes an atmospheric and riveting novel of suspense that uncovers the horrifying secrets buried within a ramshackle house. Vowing to make a fresh start, Sarah McAdams has come home to renovate the old Victorian mansion where she grew up. Her daughters, Jade and Gracie, aren t impressed by the rundown property on the shores of Oregon s wild Columbia River. As soon as they pull up the isolated drive, Sarah too is beset by uneasy memories of her cold, distant mother, of the half-sister who vanished without a trace, and of a long-ago night when Sarah was found on the widow s walk, feverish and delirious. Ever since the original mistress of the house plunged to her death almost a century ago, there have been rumors that the place is haunted. As a girl, Sarah sensed a presence there, and soon Gracie claims to see a lady in white running up the stairs. Still, Sarah has little time to dwell on ghost stories, between overseeing construction and dealing with the return of a man from her past. But there s a new, more urgent menace in the small town. One by one, teenage girls are disappearing. Frantic for her daughters safety, Sarah feels her veneer cracking and the house s walls closing in on her again. Somewhere deep in her memory is the key to a very real and terrifying danger. And only by confronting her worst fears can she stop the nightmare roaring back to life once more.
