Jacobia Tiptree saved her sanityβand her son, Samβthe day she abandoned Wall Street for the seacoast village of Eastport, Maine. In her new home, a charmingly dilapidated fixer-upper, she looks forward to repairing old radiators and restoring antique shutter for years to come. But Jake's hopes of serenity are dashed when tiny Eastport erupts in a crime wave.
Hometown bad boy Kenny Mumfordβold flame of Jake's best fiend and fellow sleuth, Ellie Whiteβis the first victim. When his corpse washes up on the beach at Prince's Cove, all evidence points to a drowning...except the bullet hole in his forehead.
When bodies begin littering the Maine scenery, Jake and Ellie learn that the ante on Kenny's small-town antics has been upped. Add a pair of unwelcome arrivalsβJake's ex-husband, and an unscrupulous New York ex-money mogulβand you've got a blueprint for more deadly danger than one house can hold.
