Blanche Murninghan’s sunny days on Santa Maria Island turn dark when the love of her life, Emilio Del Sierra, pleads with her to go with him to Argentina to rescue his long-lost aunt. Blanche is reticent but not for long. She can’t let Emilio down—and she can’t resist the challenge to untangle this web of Nazi secrets and lies outside Buenos Aires on an estancia in the pampa.

A pink palace of luxury, the estancia La Palma’s beauty is deceiving. Hidden underground, and in its tower, are secrets the Schemmers, escapees of World War II, try desperately to bury. Their sins can’t stay hidden for long, not in the face of Blanche’s curiosity and drive to right the wrongs before the truth can tango away.
