Attracted as a child by two very lifelike dolls in a shop window, Liza Quentin is told that they represent real children, Katya and Nikolas Lvov, who had disappeared in an orphanage fire and are presumed dead. But the shop owner, Sophia, believes that they are still alive and guards the Lvov fortune for them. Their story facinates Liza. Years later, when she hears that Katya is alive and has found Sophia, Liza returns to Threnody Street, eager for answers to the questions she has puzzled over for so long. Instead, however, she discovers more questions. What is wrong with Sophia? Why is Katya so elusive? Why is Liza's friend being followed and her apartment searched? Caught in a series of mysterious incidents, Liza is irresistibly drawn toward the unsuspected killer who waits for her in "The Shop On Threnody Street"!
