Hilary and Mark Bradley are trapped in a web of suspicion. Last year, accusations of a torrid affair with a student cost Mark his teaching job and made the young couple into outcasts in their remote island town off the Lake Michigan coast. Now another teenage girl is found dead on a deserted beach. . . and once again, Mark faces a hostile town convinced of his guilt.
Hilary Bradley is determined to prove that Mark is innocent, but sheβs on a lonely, dangerous quest. Even when she discovers that the murdered girl was witness to a horrific crime years earlier, the police are certain sheβs throwing up a smoke screen to protect her husband. Only a quirky detective named Cab Bolton seems willing to believe Hilaryβs story.
Hilary and Cab soon find that people in this community are willing to kill to keep their secrets hiddenβand to make sure Mark doesnβt get away with murder. And with each shocking revelation, even Hilary begins to wonder whether her husband is truly innocent. Freemanβs first stand-alone thriller since his Stride novels is a knockout.
