Law is a town with secrets. Detective Sergeant Nan Wilson is forced to attempt to unearth some of these when the badly mutilated body of a young local woman is discovered near the old gallows tree. But she finds only more questions:
Is the death linked to the unsolved disappearance of a young girl from the town some years before?
Is there a connection to the Big Hoose that stands brooding over the town and its evil past?
What are the guilty secrets that so many of the local inhabitants seem to be concealing?
Only one thing is certain—death is stalking the town, and she must find the evil at its heart before it claims more victims.
