Danny Boyle was the son of a mine worker and a mentally I’ll mother that had been convicted of killing her one week old daughter. He left that mining town in Pennsylvania. That mining town also had a dark, famous history involving the Nellies who were executed by hanging. Danny goes back to that town to check on his grandfather who had been sick.

Walker Dawes owns the mine and the original Walker Dawes was the one to have the Nellies executed. His daughter Scarlett shows up and murder happens in that small mine town. Eventually, the truth about what really happened to Danny’s baby sister comes out.

The only problem I had was the switching between Scarlett and Danny’s point of view though it was necessary. It wasn’t thriller quality to me but it was very engaging and the characters believable though some very superficial and seemed to exist as means of moving the plot.
