A mystery takes flight

1907: On the eve of her fifth birthday, Poppy Pendleton is tucked safely in her bed, listening to her parents entertain New York’s gilded society in their Thousand Islands castle; the next morning, she is gone, and her father is found dead in his smoking room.

1992: Though Chloe Ridell lives in the shadows of Poppy’s castle, now in ruins, she has little interest in the mystery that captivates tourists. Until the day a girl named Emma shows up on her doorstep with a tattered scrapbook that connects her to the Pendleton family. When a reporter starts asking questions about her grandfather, Chloe decides to help him dig into a past she’d thought best left buried. The haunting truth about Poppy, they soon discover, could save Emma’s life.
