Grace, a pregnant teen, has been locked away in an insane asylum by her father, a Massachusetts senator, in the 1800s. The horrors she suffers have killed her spirit and taken her voice. She lives as a mute until a violent episode brings forth her voice and the doctor attending to the asylum patients recognizes her intelligence and gifts in observation. Dr. Thornhollow and Grace stage her death at the asylum and Thornhollow takes her away to his new job of investigating murders in Athens, Ohio. Grace has agreed to enter his dark world, helping in the investigation of the murders, but living under cover as a mute in a “more pleasant” asylum. Always at the back of her mind is trying to find a way to protect her younger sister back home from the same fate Grace endured from their father. As Grace becomes more skilled in helping Thornhollow solve murders, she begins to take risks that will put her own life in more danger. Be forewarned, this is a rather dark mystery based on historical practices of insane asylum patients in the 1800s.
