In an old building complex riddled with secret passages, Ali has to figure out which of the other people on site to trust, do the challenging job she was hired to do, and stop a series of murders. Once again, Alicia finds mystery mixed with fabulous antiques. The collection she is hired to assess consists entirely of items associated with death. Why would anyone obsess over this particular type of collection? The upstate New York college that was once an old monastery is riddled with secret passages and threatens to be more than Ali and her friend Laudine can handle. One mystery leads to another, and discovering which of the other people on campus can be trusted is a challenge of its own. In addition, a possible romantic interest is complicating Alicia's ability to discover who is killing people.
