A novel of secrets, blood, and the cost of truth. When Sierra Calloway inherits her grandmother's antebellum estate on Wilmington Island, Georgia, she finds more than she bargained for - a silver key, a forbidden attic, and a trunk with a false bottom sealed for a hundred and thirty years. Inside: a journal. Newspaper clippings from 1888 London. And a wooden box, heavier than it should be, that holds the only physical evidence of crimes the world has never stopped asking about. Her great-grandfather was Jack the Ripper. And now Sierra must decide: bury it again, or give the truth back to the women it was stolen from.
"Haunting, atmospheric, and deeply humane - a story about the weight of inherited truth.
