Homicide detective, Abigail Browning has spent the last
seven years haunted by her husbandβs death. Four days after
her wedding to Christopher, her husband met his death along
the rocky Mount Desert Island coast. Was the shooting a
random act of violence, or could someone have wanted
Christopher dead?
Still determined to find her husbandβs killer, Abigail
returns to her inherited home on the foggy Maine island
after receiving an anonymous tip. Hoping itβs not another
false lead, she sets out to finally prove that his death
was tied to something that happened that night . . . and
that Chris was indeed murdered.
As Abigail teams up with the search-and-rescue worker, Owen
Garrison, who first located Chris on that fateful night,
they begin to unravel the mystery. Abigailβs very presence
on the island causes a commotion among the islanders, and
soon, Owen and Abigail 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 pastβit'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 . . .
