Every antique tells a story. Cullen and Luna Bodman learned that through their parents' furniture business. Now, with their restoration shop and café, they often find themselves unraveling mysteries for their clients. The old steamer chest that Cullen receives from an anonymous source is fascinating in its own right. But inside, Cullen discovers more - a locked diary accompanied by an unsigned letter, asking for the contents to be restored to their original state. It's the kind of puzzle that Luna, always full of curiousity and insight, can't resist. The entries in the old, worn diary contain no names or dates, only initials, but the final passage suggests the writer was about to graduate high shcool. Also in the trunk is a wooden box containing ticket stubs and an undated carnival flyer. Not everyone is thrilled with Luna's new quest. Her budding relationship with U.S. Marshal Christopher Gaines comes under strain. But intuition pushes her on, unveiling a surprising modern-day connection, and leading Cullen and Luna to wonder if the diary's secrets still hold power today...
