Francesca Smith had planned a

vacation trip to Massachusetts. But

echoes from the past, echoes of

mystery and love, induced her to stay

at Hidden Inn in Moriarty, Con-

necticut. Francesca had lived in

Moriarty with her parents many

years ago. Then they d abruptly

moved away. Though her parents

never talked about their life in

Connecticut, Francesca sensed that

something strange, something bad,

had once happened there. It had

something to do with a horse in the

sky and a newspaper story.

When attractive, unpredictable

Hugo Summerfield, grandson of the

owner of Hidden Inn, tried to help

Francesca unveil her family secrets,

she fell in love with him, only to

learn that he had some disturbing

secrets of his own.
