At
the age of four Agnes Hahn went to live with her great aunts
Gert and Ella. Now Gert is deceased and Ella is in a care
home in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's. Her life is
mundane, her work at the animal shelter routine. And then
she is arrested for a string of unimaginably heinous murders.
Reporter
Jason Powers is covering the murders, but he has more than
newspaper copy in mind; this case has bestseller
potential. He soon uncovers a tangle of Hahn family secrets
and one both shocks and intrigues him—Agnes has a twin.
Just when Powers is breaking through Ella's dementia to put
together the puzzle behind the carnage, Ella is murdered by
another of the family secrets, Gert and Ella's brother Eddie.
Then Eddie is murdered with clear fingerprint evidence implicating
Agnes. When Powers unearths the final family secret he also
answers a nagging question: Why did the aunts take only Agnes
thirty years ago?
