After a hectic year, Edindale, Illinois, attorney Keli Milanni is ready to welcome autumn by counting her many blessings. But a case of murder could cause her to fall behind . . .
Keli is hoping that Mabon, the Wiccan Autumn Equinox, will bring balance back into her life. But it's death that comes calling when she's asked to consult on an estate case. Recently passed, Elaine Turnbull left everything, including her valuable art and antiques collection, to her granddaughter, Lana. But Lana has been missing for years, ever since a tragedy tore her family apart. Also missing may be Elaine's most recent will. Then there's the not-so-small detail that Elaine's death by natural causes may not have been so natural after all . . .
With the help of her boyfriend Wes, who knew Lana in high school, Keli starts digging into Elaine's past-and her journals. Soon she discovers that everyone, from Elaine's caretaker to her curator, had a motive for murder-along with a seemingly rock-solid alibi. Between missing people, missing documents, a string of vandalism against her friends, and the sense she's being stalked, Keli is feeling a disturbing chill. Now not even her Wiccan protection rituals may save her from a killer with a cold heart that's far from grateful . . .
