A young woman's body is discovered at the bottom of the escarpment. Did she jump? Or was she pushed? Former Royal Canadian Mounted Police corporal Jean Whitlock has returned in disgrace to Milton, Ontario, the town west of Toronto where she grew up. Jean can't help but be drawn into the mystery surrounding the woman's death. Her future uncertain, her life suddenly in danger, Jean must overcome powerful forces arrayed against her in order to uncover the town's secrets as well as the truth of her own family's dark past.
