Whatever happened to the young Carr heiress who vanished years ago? A scheming uncle with an eye on her fortune persuades a vaudeville performer to impersonate his niece in exchange for a share of the inheritance. Desperate for work, Jessie accepts the role and moves from the tawdry world of Prohibition-era vaudeville to the windswept coast of Oregon, where sea caves provide cover for rum runners and murderers alike. The charade convinces everyone—except the one person who knows the real fate of the missing heiress. With help from a handsome bootlegger, a Chinese herbalist, and a vaudeville comedian, Jessie investigates where no one else will. Without hard proof, none of her suspicions will be believed, and an accusation will only lead to her own arrest for fraud. But the question haunts her: what happened to the heiress?
