When a fire takes their neighbor’s life and destroys their home during a brutally harsh winter, Emily and Willa suspect foul play and are determined to uncover the killer lurking among the deadly frost.

Amherst, 1857. The Dickinson family brace themselves for one of the worst winters in New England’s history. Trains are snowbound, and boats are frozen in the harbor. Emily Dickinson, along with her maid Willa Noble and the families of Amherst, attempt to keep their homes warm as fears of fire abound.

Their worst fears come to pass when a blaze breaks out just down the street from the Dickinsons’ in Kelley Square, the Irish community in Amherst, leaving a young couple killed and their child orphaned. Their deaths appear to be a tragic accident, but Emily finds herself harboring suspicions there may be more to the fire than meets the eye. With Willa’s help, they work to crack the case while withstanding the frigid temperatures of the New England winter.
