When the past is unlocked, no telling what will come out...

Shannon Pryce is slowly settling into small-town life, but with a psychic gift like hers to hide, fitting in is more of a challenge. If she's ever to put down real roots in Petrie's Crossing's red-clay soil, it's time to widen her circle beyond a few friends, acquaintances, and one smoking-hot lover. It's also time to solve the mystery of the next object in her late Aunt Caroline's box, this time a brass key. Oddly enough, the key transmits the same disturbing impressions she picks up inside the railroad museum—fire, smoke, pleas for help from an underground trap. Worse, the author who's been hounding her for an interview is asking too many personal questions—and threatening to show up on her doorstep. Can Shannon dig deep enough to find the key's rightful owner, heal a woman's broken heart, and find the strength to confront the ghosts of her own past?
