      But when Tesds discovers a human skeleton in her dirt cellar, she gegins to ask questions about the history of the carriage house, the untimely death of Andrew's wife...and

Ike's disappearance. Questions a desperate killer wants to silence before the truth reveals that someone got away with murder.
