Madeline Abbott learns Black Oaks, the derelict coastal mansion she inherited, may not be hers due to a bizarre legal mix-up. Her attorney investigates, but she is slammed with more shocking news: her ex-husband, David, has been released from jail and is suddenly missing.
Unbelievably, Madeline becomes the prime suspect in a grisly murder. She and detectives Cooper and Morales are thrust into a complex game involving Madeline’s ex, someone claiming ownership of Black Oaks, and a brutal assault.
Is there a long lost cache of gold hidden at the mansion? If so, why has it never been found? Will someone kill to find it? Then something unforeseen puts Cooper and Madeline’s fragile relationship in jeopardy. Will Madeline have to face the danger lurking in the shadowy hallways and murky rooms of the old house…alone?
This book is the second in this series, however, each book is a stand-alone novel with no cliff hangers.

This story follows the main character Madeline Abbot and the two police offers, Scott and Isabelle, from the first book. Madeline has inherited Black Oaks, a run down mansion, from her parents. However the ownership is contested and then her ex-husband is found murdered at the house. In addition there's the riddle of whether a hoard of gold is hidden somewhere in the house, and it seems there's quite a few people out to get it.
The story is told from multiple view points, and is a fast paced read that keeps you hooked from the start. The are a couple of sub stories running along too, as well as the simmering romance between Scott and Madeline.
It's well written and the characters engaging, so now I'll be checking out the first one!
Very interesting read. The secondary characters are well thought out with back stories that stay with you. The plot is unusual as is the fast paced action a lot of which takes place behind the creepy Gate 6. The setting for this once beautiful old house is superb and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to learn more about it. I want to explore it along with Madeline.
I was totally hooked and couldn't put it down. I loved it from beginning to end.
This fast paced plot, with it's dramatic action and scenery is so visually appealing that it would make a great murder mystery movie.
