Willa Jackson was known as a daredevil at school, but she has long since settled down. The role of the owner of a modest store in her hometown suits her quite well, and she doesn’t need unnecessary worry. But one fine day, Willa’s peace is disturbed by her former classmate Pax Osgood, the richest woman in the city: she sends Willa an invitation to a festive evening, which will take place in a luxurious mansion. The house once belonged to the Jackson family; it was built by Willa’s great-great-grandfather, but in the 1930s the Jacksons went bankrupt, and the Osgoods bought the mansion. Willa really wants to go to the celebration, but she has doubts, and she has reasons for that. This haunted house, which has stood abandoned for many years, simultaneously attracts and repels her: somewhere here is buried a secret of the past connecting the Jackson and Osgood families. For the first time in Russian!
