Her brother is missing. The city holds its breath. And Lillian Dove is about to discover that some truths are more dangerous than lies.

When Lillian Dove hears that her brother—long estranged and now missing—was last seen in Dubuque, Iowa, she sets off to find him. But the answers she seeks are buried beneath layers of silence.

Refusing to give up, Lillian begins her own investigation. What she uncovers takes her through abandoned tunnels, into the grip of betrayal, and face-to-face with a dangerous past she never knew existed. Yet in the midst of secrets and suspicion, laughter lingers on porches, and love dares to rise again.

Some mysteries pull you under. Others set you free.
