When middle-aged Maggie’s life is thrown asunder by the sudden relocation to a new home, she is forced to relive her dark past even as it threatens the very fabric of her sanity.
Maggie Fletcher is a woman haunted; her past sorrows hang precariously about her neck, a string of black pearls tightening like a fist. Her husband, Duncan, dreams of being her white knight, even as Maggie relegates his role to that of villain. But as she fights to keep her wits about her, Maggie is plagued by dreams and memories of her long-dead brother, and soon it seems as though the house itself seeks to punish her for past crimes.
