As far as her family knows, Julia Winward, a young American woman, has been missing in England for nearly a year. When her mutilated body is finally found floating in the Thames,her brother, Josh, is determined to find out what happened to his sister for all that time, and exactly who--or what--killed her.

But nothing Josh discovers makes any sense. Julia had been working for a company that went out of business sixty years ago, and living at an address that hasn't existed since World War II. The only one who might be able to help Josh is Ella, a strange young woman with psychic abilities. But the doors she can open with her mind are far better left closed. For behind these doors lie secrets that should never be revealed--secrets too horrible to imagine.
