When out-of-work graphic designer Leo Finn agrees to care for his sharp-tongued ninety-three-year-old Aunt Beatrice, he expects a summer of leaky gutters and dubious morel mushrooms. Instead, he discovers a balcony door that's been locked for sixty years—and a faded photograph of a laughing young woman hidden beneath it. The search for answers leads Leo through dusty attics, hidden letters, and a forgotten romance that ended in disappearance. Blending family secrets with dark humor, this American Gothic mystery proves that some doors are locked for reasons darker than anyone imagined.
