La marshal Mackenzie Stewart estaba pasando un tranquilo fin de semana en New Hampshire, en la casa de su amiga la jueza federal Bernadette Peacham, cuando fue atacada. Ella pudo repeler el ataque, pero el agresor consiguió escapar. Todo sugería que se trataba de un loco violento… hasta que llegó el agente del FBI Andrew Rook.

Mackenzie había roto con él su norma de no salir con agentes del orden, pero sabía que él no se había desplazado desde Washington para verla, sino porque trabajaba en su caso. A medida que continuaba la caza del misterioso atacante, el caso dio un giro inesperado cuando Mackenzie siguió a Rook a Washington y descubrió que un antiguo juez amigo de Bernadette, ahora caído en desgracia y convertido en informador de Rook, había desaparecido.

Mackenzie y Rook comprenderían entonces que había más en juego de lo que pensaban y que se enfrentaban a una mente criminal que no tenía nada que perder y estaba dispuesta a jugárselo todo.

From New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers comes the gripping story of one woman's determination to solve the unsolvable case: her husband's murder.

Four days after Abigail Browning's wedding, her life changed in a way she never expected: her husband was shot, meeting his death along the rocky Mount Desert Island coast. Was it a random act of violence, or could someone have wanted Christopher dead?

That's the question that has haunted Abigail, now a homicide detective, for the past seven years. As determined as ever to find her husband's killer, she returns to the foggy Maine island – and the home she has inherited there – after receiving an anonymous tip. Is it just another false lead by someone looking for attention? Or can she finally prove that his death was tied to something that happened that night… and that he was murdered?

As the search-and-rescue worker who located Chris too late to save him, Owen Garrison still carries guilt from that fateful night. Constantly on the go as an expert in his field, he's back in Maine for the summer. Right from the start, Abigail's presence ruffles feathers among the islanders. Owen sees she's not the same woman she was seven years ago. As he helps her unravel the mystery, they learn that the layers of deceit and lies are even thicker than they could have imagined.

They're convinced that Chris was killed because he got too close to the truth and that the danger he faced isn't in the past – it's here and now. And it's up to Abigail and Owen to keep pushing for the truth… to stop a killer from striking again…
