When museum curator Savannah Decatur trades in her job at a prestigious New York museum to set up a museum in the tiny town of Wolf Creek, New Hampshire, she resolves to use the isolation and enticement of the mysterious old manor to put the heartbreaking past year behind her. And her plan starts out great – until she meets a major distraction in the form of Daniel Harrison.
On sabbatical from teaching criminology, Professor Harrison is in a race against time to uncover the secrets of Alder Manor and finish his dissertation.

Now they must convince both sides to work together before someone else gets hurt...
