Candice finds a letter in her grandmother's things. The letter leads to a treasure hunt through the history of Lambert, South Carolina and what happened to the Washington family in the 1950s. Candice is helped along the way by her new friend Brandon as they discover the dark history of racism in their town. 

I enjoyed this mystery treasure hunt. I liked the Westing Game aspect of the book and the flashbacks to the 1950s. I also appreciate the fact that the author showed modern day racism and the fact that things have not changed that much since the pre-Civil Rights days.
