When amateur sleuth Roe Teagarden's fiance gives her a house as a wedding present, she couldn't be more thrilled. Especially as the house has an infamous history: the family who lived there disappeared without a trace six years ago.
As Roe throws herself into renovating the Julius house, she's able to ignore her misgivings about her fiance's rather murky past. But then she's attacked by an axe-wielding maniac. And suddenly she realises that the secrets inside her four walls - and her new marriage - could kill her.
