Almost eighteen year old Natalie Banks had lived in Seattle for pretty much her entire life. So what changed? Maybe it was the murder of her parents--it was murder, she was sure of that--or maybe it was that she lost touch with all her friends after leaving, or that she had to move in with her abusive uncle.
Actually, it was probably her decision to take her life into her own hands, and do what was best for her. "Freak show" Natalie did what she thought was right, despite her impulsive tendencies, shyness, and fresh grief trailing her every thought. As her curiosity grew of her parent's passing, Natalie found more clues to tell her what really happened that strange day, and that not everything was as it seemed.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
