More about the book:

The opening of the Houston Astrodome in 1965 is a landmark event for the largest city in Texas, bringing thousands of visitors from all over the world and with them the winds of change.

For University of Houston student Dottie Murphy, it brings an exciting job opportunity and a host of new friends. Dottie loves her job as a Spacette, as do her best friends, Millie and Maggie Sue, but when one of Dottie’s friends is killed in a tragic accident in the Dome a couple of years later, Dottie’s world is turned upside down. Soon she begins to wonder if her friend’s death was really an accident. Dottie decides to investigate and within months of starting her search, she disappears without a trace, leaving her family and friends devastated.

Nearly forty years later, Dottie’s teen-aged niece discovers Dottie’s journal, and begins to question what happened to her aunt. Soon this cold case falls into the laps of amateur sleuths Gina Malloy Tierney, and her aunt, Sister Catherine Malloy. A successful journalist, Gina jumps at the opportunity to research the case, knowing it would make a fascinating story. What she and her aunt don’t count on is the fact that there is a devious killer, alive and well, prepared to do anything to keep the terrible truth hidden, and their lives will be in jeopardy before they have a chance to solve the Astrodome Murders.
