Publisher's Summary
Indiana, January 2010.
It’s a hot summer’s day in 1984 when 12-year-old Gilly and her friend Sally find a dead new-born in a shoebox in the cemetery of their tiny town.
Deciding to keep their discovery a secret, they bury the body in Gilly’s yard.
The results are disastrous. Flowers are mysteriously left on strollers. Two local children disappear and end up dead. A suspect is arrested and confesses, blaming the deaths on the girls’ having taken the dead baby.
Gilly grows up, but is haunted by what’s happened. As a young woman, she flees the town and its memories, going all the way to Japan.
Returning with her Japanese husband Toshi to attend her mother’s funeral, Gilly finds the past is not past. She’s threatened, and someone is putting flowers on strollers again.
When another child is abducted, Gilly knows she must discover the truth about what happened all those years ago before more lives are lost.
Lea O’Harra lived in Japan for 36 years, working as an English professor at a private university in western Japan. She is also the author of the Inspector Inoue series.
