Herculeah stumbles upon a hidden letter in a secondhand coat, suspecting it's a plea for help. As she delves into the mystery, she believes she knows the fate of the writer. But someone is watching her every move, determined to silence her at any cost. Can Herculeah uncover the truth before it's too late?
From the publisher
When Herculeah discovers a mysterious letter inside the lining of a secondhand coat, she suspects it’s a desperate cry for help. If so, what happened to the person who wrote it? Herculeah thinks she knows the answer. What she doesn’t know is that someone is watching her-someone who will do anything to keep her quiet.
