The Seaway Valley's Queen of Crime Maggie Wheeler returns with a sweeping tale of generational secrets and murder When Farran Mackenzie begins a genealogical search into her grandmother Evian's past, she finds more questions than answers buried in a murky chapter of Canadian history: the British Home Children. A visit from an unexpected family connection shines a new light on Evian's sudden death in the 1950s, suggesting a disturbing truth. When death arrives on the doorstep, Farran must use all her research skills to piece the past together-from the streets of WW1 England, to rural post-war Ontario, to Depression-era Lost Villages and the origins of the St. Lawrence Seaway - before murder strikes again in real time.--Publisher's description.
