From the Back Cover
Leaving her glamorous modeling career in New York City to become the editor of a small-town newspaper in Julesburg, Oregon, seems like a good start. She sets out to uncover the murderous history of an abandoned local theater called the Nevermore-determined to defy town lore that says disaster greets anyone involved with the place. But around every corner, Angie is haunted by reminders of her own history.
Word of a friendís murder, a visit from her dangerous ex-boyfriend, and the arrival of a man she abandoned years ago to pursue her big-city ambitions all seem to gather around her feet like a deadly undertow. And she begins to realize that she may be more closely involved in the murder she is investigating than she cares to admit.
As she unravels the Nevermoreís unsolved mysteries, Angie must confront her own buried secrets. But can she find the clues she seeks? And can her past ever be forgiven?
