An actress with a golden voice and a tumultuous life, Janet Hardy died of an overdose in this very house more than thirty years ago. To this day, Janet haunts Cilla’s dreams. Cilla’s almost too busy and exhausted to notice her neighbor, graphic novelist Ford Sawyer – but his lanky form, green eyes, and easy, unflappable humor are hard to ignore. But love and a peaceful life may not be in the cards for Cilla. She has found a cache of unsigned letters suggesting that Janet Hardy was pregnant when she died – and that the father of her child was a local married man. The mystery only deepens with a series of cruel and intimidating acts and a frightening, violent assault.
