Deep in Texas hill couuntry, ex-lawyer China thinks life is hectic enough already, and then her teenaged son unearths human remains while digging in a nearby cave. The bones indicate foul play - and are much too recent to be an archeological find. Despite the unexpected turn of events, China keeps her cool and attends the opening of the new community theater. But the party abruptly ends when the elderly Jane Obermann shoots a local handyman in the name of self-defense. China beginns to snoop around - and what she finds is shocking. ( )

The Obermann sisters, the elderly remnants of one of the wealthiest families in Pecan Springs, have decided to donate a building on their property to the local community theater group, with one stipulation: They must perform a play written by Miss Jane Obermann that celebrates the life of her father and family founder. But the opening night cast party is brought to an abrupt halt when a shot rings out and Miss Jane Obermann is found holding a smoking gun over the dead body of the local handyman who was apparently breaking into her home, armed with a butcher knife. And China's stepson, Brian, stumbles across a skeleton while exploring a cave, it opens a mystery that is at least 30 years old. China is the only person who sees that the secrets to be found in the dead man's bones will connect the two seemingly unrelated deaths in a way that will shock Pecan Springs to it's very core.
