Two decades ago, Esme Weatherhead's archaeologist father wrote a bestselling book on the use of hallucinogens in ancient Mesoamerican shamanism—and then disappeared. Convinced he's still alive, Esme has never stopped searching for him. And when she stumbles upon notes about a hidden cave on their rural Vermont property, her quest gets a new focus. Esme hires geological consultant Lucas St. Pierre to help locate and explore the cave, and her hunch that it has something to do with her father's disappearance quickly pays off.

Hadley is one of those rare people who feels she's living the perfect life. She has a husband she loves, a charming daughter, and a job that is deeply fulfilling. Sometimes it almost seems like a fairy tale. Then, little by little, things start to go wrong. There's the creepy guy from down the street who keeps staring at her teenage daughter, there's the strangely needy woman who moves in next door. Just little wrinkles, but then Hadley's world is turned upside down when someone close to her is murdered.

No one knows what I did. Not my beloved husband or my busybody mother. And nobody can ever find out—it would destroy my career and I'd lose everything, including my precious baby. Then the threats begin. The ominous emails, the sinister letters, and the chilling gifts left outside my door by someone who knows the truth. Someone who's stalking me and wants to make me pay for my sins.
