She can't have a child; she knows families are dangerous.On the other side of the world, Bostonian Bill Bixton's got it all – money, power, friends in high places. After he throws the retirement party of the decade, he realises what he's been missing all along: the ability to truly love.Maddy and Bill's fates converge deep in the heart of Mexico, in search of the truth about a woman who has irrevocably changed both their destinies: Lilia de Las Flores – heroine or murderess? But when they leave behind their lives of ordered logic for the sultry, closed town of Aaguasecas, they find that ghostly shadows and suspicious locals make the truth hard to uncover.
