"Powerful.... Johnson writes about the long shadows of the past with such ambition that any reader with a taste for mystery will appreciate the puzzle Candice and Brandon must solve." — The New York Times Book Review
Candice finds a letter to her grandmother in an old attic in Lambert, South Carolina. The letter describes an injustice that happened in the town decades ago – and presents a puzzle full of mysterious clues. Candice and her new friend Brandon begin to decipher the clues – the challenge will lead them deep into Lambert's history, full of ugly deeds, forgotten heroes, and one great love; and deeper into their own families, with their own unspoken secrets.
