The city of Memphis holds a secret. .

. Nat Raskin has the perfect life working for Sotheby’s in New York—until her marriage falls apart and she limps home to Memphis.

Badly on the rebound, she opens an antique shop in the building her family has owned for generations, making her grandfather’s store a Memphis landmark. She starts her business with the help of Gideon Fairchild, handsome and damaged, a failed musician, now an antique dealer with a past shut up as tight as a vault.

When Gideon finds a red Fender Stratocaster in a customer’s living room, he asks Nat for help in researching its ownership. Her search leads her to her grandfather, and to she begins to realize that things are not as they seem in the Raskin family.

The story of a forty-year-old shooting involving Mo Raskin leaves Nat with some startling questions about her past—and she takes a journey through still-racist Memphis in search of answers. Her search exposes a web of lies that are decades old.

Will the secret of the Stratocaster reveal the secret of her grandfather’s? And can she reveal it without tearing the Raskin family apart?. .
