A series of difficult circumstances and premature retirement have taken away Dave and Katie Parker's direction. I feel like our old life was a boat that went over a waterfall with us inside. Now we're bobbing up in the pool below, glad to be alive, but without a boat, says Katie.
The Parkers take a wintertime job housesitting an old Victorian mansion. The picturesque river town in southeastern Minnesota is far from the climate and culture of their home near the Alabama Gulf Coast. Dave and Katie are fish-out-of-water in the situation . This allows readers to see through the eyes of characters experiencing the settings for the first time themselves.
The Parkers are also dog people but the mansion comes with a lively cat that adds humor to the story. The cat helps them discover dark secrets sleeping in the mansion. A criminal network has ruthlessly intimidated the community since the timber baron era of the 19th century. Residents have been conditioned to look the other way.
The Parkers' questions about local history and mysterious clues they discover in the mansion bring an evil past to light and create division in the small community. While some fear the consequences of digging up the truth, others want freedom from crime and justice for victims. Faced with personal threats, the Parkers must decide how to respond for themselves and for the good of the community.
