Set on a university campus in a Midwest town, the story picks up years after Calliope Bryce's death and the suicide of her father, Professor David Bryce. The time was now right to open up the Bryce home and allow new students to take up residence. Though Calliope's death was widely thought to be a bungled burglary gone bad, she was, in fact, murdered. She had to die, though the reasons for her death would not surface until the killer had to strike one more time. Skeletons have a way of jangling their bones, no matter how hard you try to conceal them. They can do this in such a way that the cacophony will drive you insane. With new faces about to take residence in the Bryce house, the jangling was about to start. Thalia Thomas bore an uncanny resemblance to Calliope Bryce. Her entrance unseats the killer. Will she survive?
