Cleopatra Murphy is ready for the return of summertime tourists. As the owner of the majestic Madeleine Hotel, made famous thirty years before by a bestselling novel, she’s seen all kinds of visitors come through town. When Harris Crosby shows up with his fiancée and an old guitar in a worn-out case, everyone assumes he’s just another guest. Cleopatra’s reaction to his arrival makes her sister, Theodora, suspect the two have crossed paths before. The fact that Harris has eyes the same seafoam green as her niece, Indigo, makes her think his visit to the hotel is anything but coincidental.


One late afternoon, a harrowing squall blows in, pummeling the town with heavy rain and flash floods. In the chaos created by the wild weather, Indigo goes missing. Frantic, her family searches for her, hindered by unrelenting rain and damage inflicted on the town. Everyone in Whisper Creek is holding onto the hope that Indigo is hunkered down somewhere, waiting out the storm.

One thought keeps running through Theodora’s mind as the search for the missing child continues … Was it really a random act of nature that separated Indigo from her loved ones, or was it something much more deliberate?
