The next quilt is red.

Homicide detective Kathy Marconi walks away from the NYPD under the shadow of a scandal she didn't start and couldn't survive. Looking for distance, she bids on a crumbling plantation in rural Louisiana, wins it, and tells herself it's a fresh start.

It isn't.

The house has been keeping its dead for two centuries, and they are not finished with the living. The enslaved people who built the Caine Plantation, who ran the quilts and kept the codes of the Underground Railroad, never left. They want justice. And they have chosen Kathy to deliver it.

She's solved cold cases before. Never one this old. Never one where her own life was the price of failure.

A standalone novel of murder, treachery, and the Underground Railroad.
