echoing down through the decades, until they find a teller . . .

Actress Julia Bridges disappears.
Her body is never found.

Dublin, 1968
The bones of Julia Bridges are discovered in a back garden.
Nicoletta Sarto, an ambitious junior reporter for the Irish Sentinel, investigates the mystery of Julia's disappearance, drawing her into the tangled underworld of the illegal abortion industry.
