Ten-year-old Beth is kidnapped from her Georgia home and held captive, relying only on her will to survive. Seven years later, Imogene is burying her father, a Klan leader, when she is confronted with his secrets--a child in a locked basement on her father's property. Imogene's search for the child's mother leads her to Beth's disappearance years before, and she presses ahead looking for answers despite the threat of retaliation from the Klan that could change Imogene's life forever.

A history-inspired novel, told in the voices of eleven characters, about two young girls, one Jewish and the other African-American, who come to the attention of the newly formed Ku Klux Klan in a small Vermont town in 1924.

In the years following the Civil War, a new battle began. Newly freed African American men had gained their voting rights and would soon have a chance to transform Southern politics. Former Confederates and other white supremacists mobilized to stop them. Thus, the KKK was born. After the first political assassination carried out by the Klan, Washington power brokers looked for help in breaking the growing movement. They found it in Hiram C. Whitley. He became head of the Secret Service, which had previously focused on catching counterfeiters and was at the time the government?s only intelligence organization. Whitley and his agents led the covert war against the nascent KKK and were the first to use undercover work in mass crime?what we now call terrorism?investigations. Like many spymasters before and since, Whitley also had a dark side. His penchant for skulduggery and dirty tricks ultimately led to his involvement in a conspiracy that would bring an end to his career and transform the Secret Service.
