Oakville Barbara Liegl

There is something unusual about the trees in Oakville. An old Indian legend has it that these are spirit trees and keepers of the town's secrets. When a volunteer fundraiser for the high school's thespian group dies under mysterious circumstances, the police chief and a housewife start an investigation that uncovers not only the town's secrets, but also its dreams, and often deadly games.

Set in 1979 in Michigan, Oakville is about a time as much as a place, gone now, but still remembered.
