Yet Matty is still grieving and vulnerable, and self-doubt creeps in when the grandfather's past proves far murkier than expected. She doggedly rattles the bones, uncovering his trail piece by enigmatic piece, until frightening incidents make her aware that a mysterious someone else is on the hunt, someone who will not be denied. As she scrambles to unearth long-buried Dowe secrets, her only weapons are smarts and persistence. But she'll need more than these to bring the shadowy past into the light: courage, daring, and help from those who love her.
