Another dead body turns up in Rock Ridge, this time in a quaint room at the local inn. Rather than call the police, the innkeeper, Amelia knows just who can fix this: Kate Flaherty.
As Kate investigates the life of the IT Specialist, who was found bludgeoned, in order to clear Amelia's name, she discovers the brilliant, young man had a secret life, one which ties tightly to the disappearance of Becky Langley.
And it is no wonder Amelia is Becky's mother.
Tensions rise throughout Rock Ridge. Reporters have taken over the town. And if Kate doesn't solve this case quietly, a media frenzy could very well destroy her one shot at finding the missing woman.
