Four little girls–each blond, each on the verge of adolescence–stolen from their families.Their bodies discovered months later in shallow graves, surrounded by trinkets they never owned, clutching a scrap of paper bearing a cryptic verse. As a forensic nurse in rural South Carolina, Ashlee Davenport Chadwick acts as both caregiver and cop, gathering evidence from anyone who arrives in the local E.R. as the result of a crime. It's a tough job, both physically and emotionally draining, but deeply satisfying.Then a child's red shoe is discovered on Davenport property. The evidence leads Ashlee to the body of a missing girl and her work suddenly invades every aspect of her life. As an expert and a witness, she must call upon all her resources. And when the killer's eye turns to her, she becomes intimately involved with a crime that tests her mind and her spirit…and the price of failure will be another child's life.

…But not all of the jewels were eggs, some of them were real. But it is very difficult to distinguish them. Untouched, the real ones lay in the ground, waiting for their master. When a car drove up and the people in black were looking for treasure, they found nothing: neither gold, nor a mysterious hole — a door to another world. It is locked for an indefinite time. This thin line between the worlds is very fragile, and you never know when you will inadvertently cross the boundaries.
