In this gripping second novella in the Widow’s Island
series, bestselling author Melinda Leigh delivers a chilling
tale of murder in the Pacific Northwest.
Deputy Tessa Black gave up her career as a detective with
the Seattle PD and returned to the Pacific Northwest island
she calls home to care for her ailing mother. Tessa thinks
her mother’s illness is the worst thing she’ll face—until
she responds to a routine call in the state park and
discovers a local man harpooned to a sign.
As the murder investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that
the victim harbored secrets. Together with her FBI agent
best friend, Cate, and park ranger Logan Wilde, Tessa must
connect the pieces before the murderer strikes again. But
the closer she gets to the truth, the more she finds
herself—and the ones she loves—in harm’s way.
Pressure mounts as Tessa attempts to juggle the current case
with her search for the truth behind her childhood friend
Samantha’s disappearance twenty years ago. Can Tessa find
the murderer and uncover answers about Samantha without
jeopardizing everything she holds dear?
