The wind in North Texas doesn't just blow; it scours. And right now, it is uncovering a century-old secret that someone is willing to kill to keep buried.
Digital Archivist Cali Rhodes has steered her trusty van, The Wanderer, to the red brick fortress of Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas. She is there for a simple rescue mission: digitize the Founding Mothers deeds before they succumb to time.
But when her client, the venerable Dr. Edith Calloway, is found dead at the bottom of a library stairwell, Cali knows it wasn't an accident.
The Motive: A ruthless developer named Carter Brockton plans to bulldoze the campus green space for luxury condos. The Clue: A missing 1903 Stewardship Ledger that proves the land belongs to the university forever. The Clock: A massive storm is rolling in, cutting the power and trapping Cali in the crosshairs of a killer.
Teaming up with the fierce and brilliant historian Dr. Sofia Mendez, Cali must decipher a trail of architectural clues hidden in the iconic Little Chapel-in-the-Woods. From steam tunnels to stained glass, the two women are in a race against time to find the Poison Pill clause that can save the sanctuary.
But in a town where tradition is everything, Cali discovers that being a nomad has its drawbacks. She is the Current crashing against Sofia's Anchor-and their fleeting connection might be the most dangerous distraction of all.
Can Cali uncover the true deed before the red brick walls come tumbling down?
