When her life falls apart following her divorce from a high-profile actor, real estate agent Jan-Julia Dare – or J.J., as she demands to be called, accepts an offer from her best friend to move into his Victorian estate in a seaside town on the East Coast. He flips old houses, but he and his partner plan to hold on to this one, as well as the colossal, abandoned hotel that looms behind it … in spite of its tragic history.
J.J. starts over in a brand new place, working in a small real estate office owned by Arlene – the elegant, mysterious blonde. J.J. begins to put her life back together, until things unravel – again. Strange things happen at the hotel. The picturesque tourist town has a dark history – a past that seems to be repeating itself.
In a nearby city, countless murders of prostitutes have remained unsolved for over a decade … until a handsome FBI agent – and estranged brother of J.J.’s best friend – arrives to put an end to the brutal killing. J.J. is determined to resist charming Special Agent Michael McCarty, in spite of his determination to show up on her doorstep every time he’s off duty.
J.J. will find herself in the path of one of the nation’s most dangerous serial killers … as well as phantoms of the past, reaching out from beyond the grave.
