Some secrets draw people closer.........after they tear them apart.

Marybeth and Hollister moved to rural New York to escape—both the city life and a checkered past. Their lives were unassuming, until they bought a grandfather clock. They just wanted something to fill the space under their stairs, but they got much more than they bargained for. What secrets could the clock possibly hold?


About the Author
Jane was sent to Callicoon to find the Eagle diamond, which was stolen from the Museum of Natural History in the '60s and never recovered. Convinced she won't find what she's looking for, she grudgingly takes the assignment. When she arrives, things aren't what they seem and Jane finds more than she ever expected.
