A quest for her roots, and new family responsibilities, give Cody
Marsh reasons to settle in Wallace, Idaho. As the curator at a
mining museum, she takes on a project mapping the old Nine Mile
Cemetery. The history of the place fascinates her, but a solitary
headstone, engraved only with 'Sparrow', nags at her with the
persistence of a haunting. When a body is discovered, Cody has no
reason to believe there is any connection to the mysterious
headstone. However, as she follows Sparrow's winding tale into
secrecy, betrayal, and loss, an attempt on Cody's life proves a
link. Hurt and scared, Cody flees to the safety of those she
loves...which is exactly where the killer wants her.
Cody Marsh's domineering, embittered mother is the only family she
has ever known, until her grandfather arrives. He brings with him
the acceptance and kindness previously missing in her life, and his
death a short time after they meet leaves her empty and yearning.
Defying her mother for the first time, Cody sets out for the
boyhood home of her grandfather -- Wallace, Idaho -- to find
connections to him, to find her place in her family, to find peace
within herself. Instead, her search lands her at the scene of a
double homicide and Cody's discoveries of her grandfather's past
become entwined in a history very much alive. The bordellos,
politics, and silver mines of the past reach into the present,
driving at least one of her new acquaintances to acts of
desperation. Cody must find the strength to face not only private
failures and the ghosts of old memories, but betrayal that will
strike at her newfound courage.
