Gifted college student, Tomas Moore, is the son of a crusty
Pine Island crab fisherman and a Mexican homemaker who often
seeks psychic guidance. When the young man is found
murdered, his parents and the locals, fear the law will not
place a high priority on solving his death.
It is up to Jessie Murphy to find the killer. Is it another
crabber? A rejected lover? His rich girlfriend? Her brother?
His roommate? Or, two cagey, sport fishermen?
The ties that bind. The rivalries of the heart. The threat
of collapse to an island’s livelihood. As Jessie tries to
unravel the mystery of this promising young islander’s
murder she finds herself in a heart-stopping race against
time in which honesty and love are tested, greed is rampant,
and no one—including Jessie herself—is safe.
