Synopsis

Megan Carlson is a young woman in mourning. She lost her brother, Michael, to suicide and both her parents to a tragic accident. She is now the lonely, sole heir to the Carlson fortune, and despite the official reports, she is still haunted by questions about her family and the strange ways those closest to her died. She does her own investigating and begins to believe her brother’s death was no suicide―just as her parents’ was no accident. Someone is trying to end her family for good, and she is next on the stalker’s list. Megan soon discovers her family hides many secrets, and her only remaining, distant relatives aren’t talking. There is an old friend of the family, though, who knows of the mysterious adopted son, but knowledge can be a dangerous thing. In order to survive, Megan must find the truth her family has been so eager to conceal. In doing so, she might find her stalker before she becomes the next and final victim in the Carlson line.
