As a teenager, Dinah Westlake had witnessed the murder of her pregnant cousin, but a concussion blocked her memories of that night. Now, ten years later, her cousin's widower, Marc Devlin, had returned to Charleston to give his young son a true Southern Christmas. It was a chance to make amends in a family torn apart by the tragedy--and the suspicion that Marc was responsible for his wife's demise. But when several dangerous "accidents" occurred amid the colorful holiday celebrations, Dinah's recollections of that past dark night began to resurface. Would she discover a killer inside the man she'd grown to love?
Dinah Westlake was in the house when her cousin Annabel was murdered, but a head injury blocked her memory of what really happened.

Now he has come back to Charleston, bringing Courtney, his son, to spend Christmas in the house where Annabel died. Marc's coming stirs everything up again. Some people are glad to see him, but others he felt were friends are angry that he hasn't been arrested. Dinah believes Marc is innocent. As her memory begins to return and they work together to solve the crime, they dig up secrets better left hidden. Marta Perry knows how to engage the reader's attention from page one.
