What you need to know before your trail

Nine years may have passed since Molly Tanner saw a young girl being kidnapped from a street in downtown Philadelphia but the repercussions of this have lasted all this time particularly since only two days later, the girl is found dead.

Molly falls apart – she had had visions of what was happening and regrets now that she didn’t act on these visions. She escaped the city that reminded her so much of that day and sets up home in nearby Boyds, Maryland which is a close knit and therefore much safer community.

A new start – or at least that’s what she hoped for. What she gets is something quite different for a young girl once again disappears and this time it’s closer to home…

Travel Guide

From Philadelphia to Boyds Maryland, the visions of a woman with clairvoyant tendencies once again come back to haunt a woman plagued by guilt for not acting on them when a young girl is taken from a car park in Philadelphia.

Moving to Boyds in Maryland sounds like a great idea – it’s rural and a nice community and far away from the memories and ghosts of the past. With new hope in her marriage and a new start in every sense of the world, Molly starts to relax..

Eight years since she’d escaped the painful memories of Philadelphia and moved to the quiet community of Boyds, Maryland

Boyds, Maryland with its stillness in the mornings seems like such a nice place. So the disappearance of Tracy reminds her and takes her back to that darkest of days in Philadelphia when Amanda was taken. And she has been chasing Amanda ever since. The park near her house, the woods taunt her daily.

Guilt is her companion as she searches and investigates this latest case ready for the truth to emerge. This new place she calls home is turning into the kind of place she’s not too certain of anymore, where the people are not what they seem and where you don’t know who you can trust anymore.

Several voices tell the story of a  town of a community on the edge. The most telling of these, the most starkly disturbing is Perkinson House. The history of this place, the stories of those who can predict events, those of a clairvoyant disposition all form to show just what lies beneath the quiet facade of Boyds.
