A widow embarks upon a crusade to find the truth about her husband's mysterious death and the chilling faces he saw in the rain. Gwenn Chapel watched the rain wash her husband away like a fingerprint on a window. Through that watery curtain, Detective John Chapel insisted he saw faces, faces that cried out to him, trying to share with him some secret only he was meant to know. He died chasing those faces, looking for his "Girl in the Rain", and he took those secrets to his grave. Or did he? With the aid of her husband's cryptic journal, an eccentric history professor and a con artist, she begins a journey that will challenge everything she believed about her husband, her faith, and the limits of her own sanity. Will she be able to face what awaits her at the end of that journey, or will she share the same fate as him?

Professor James Campbell and Gwenn Chapel thought they'd found their answers, but the sudden discovery of a mysterious artifact renews their search for the truth. While Gwenn turns to Campbell's oldest rival to unravel the mystery surrounding a 12th century knight and a German mercenary, Campbell enlists the aid of an unlikely ally to prove that someone is deliberately trying to lead them away from the truth. They soon discover that it could be the same truth that John Chapel died trying to expose. Will they succeed where he failed, or meet a similar fate before they find the last pieces of the puzzle? This sequel to The Girl in the Rain follows the continuing saga of John Chapel and promises to deliver more of the same intrigue, surprise twists and intense, character-driven storyline as the first book.
