Overview

Some secrets won't stay buried. When recently divorced paralegal Sharon Kyle buys a house below market value on a quiet Connecticut cul-de-sac, she thinks she's found the perfect place for a fresh start. The neighbors are warm. The street is peaceful. The price is almost too good to be true. She should have asked why. Three weeks after moving in, digging in her overgrown backyard, Sharon's trowel hits metal. Buried six inches down, wrapped in oilcloth, is a child's bracelet engraved with a name: ELLIE. Alongside it: a photograph of seven smiling adults dated June 1994, a cryptic note ending with the words She knows, and a small brass key that fits nothing. The house, Sharon discovers, was once home to nine-year-old Eleanor Marsh, who vanished thirty years ago from a neighborhood party and was presumed drowned. Case closed in six weeks. Body never found. Now the same seven people from the photograph still live on Linden Court. They still gather for neighborhood meetings. They still bring casseroles to new arrivals. And they're watching Sharon with an interest that has nothing to do with being friendly. When her car is keyed, her trash bin set on fire, and a brick with the word LEAVE scratched into it crashes through her kitchen window, Sharon realizes the box wasn't buried to hide a secret. It was buried to be found. By someone who wouldn't put it back.
