"THEY ARE GOING TO KILL ME SOON..." When quiet and shy Amelia Jones reads these words, her life changes. She just became the new owner of the Ebbtide Shop, a musty antique shop, filled with merry-go-round horses and hurdy-gurdies. It is while fixing one of these barrel organs that the scrawled and threating note falls out. Armed with only a strange woman's first name and the note written years before, Amelia begins ajourney into the past, where nothing is the way it seems, where fear is second nature and where dark secrets just might uncover murder-her own...
