Some houses keep secrets. This one keeps bodies.

Desperate for work and running out of options, nurse Emma Rothwell accepts a position too good to refuse: six months at an isolated Victorian mansion caring for an elderly woman. The pay is extraordinary. The location is remote. And the Winthrop family has secrets that have festered for nearly fifty years.

Helena Winthrop is dying, but not from old age. Someone in the house is slowly poisoning her—and they’re using Emma to do it.

As Emma fights to keep her patient alive, she uncovers the truth about Sarah Kehoe, a sixteen-year-old girl who disappeared from Winthrop Manor in 1979. Sarah’s body was never found. Her mother’s “suicide” was too convenient.

And Emma bears a haunting resemblance to the missing girl—a resemblance that didn’t escape the family’s notice when they hired her.

Now Emma is trapped in a Gothic mansion with a murderer, racing against time to expose a wealthy family’s darkest sins before she becomes the next victim to vanish into the woods.

But the truth about Sarah Kehoe is more horrifying than Emma could have imagined, and some people will kill to keep it buried.
