Full Description
A picturesque island. A shocking murder. A secret that could destroy everything.
It's 1980, a time of peace and tranquility on a legendary island off the coast of New England. Inhabiting the island is a vibrant cast of locals that includes scallopers, tradespeople, and a mysterious recluse—the wealthiest man in Massachusetts. But that peace is shattered with the murder of a prominent lawyer, a pillar of the community.
For Peter Christie, a journalist seeking a fresh start, the case is more than just a headline—it's a chance at redemption. As he delves into the island's secrets, he finds himself drawn to Haddie Danville, a determined conservation ranger. But Haddie, reeling from her grandfather's sudden death, begins to doubt both Peter and his true intentions.
Determined to win Haddie back, Peter sets out to solve the murder, joining forces with a local detective, navigating a web of confounding islanders, and pressing closer and closer to the heart of the tightly coiled secret . . . a secret that threatens to tear apart the idyllic island.
