Ann Davenport has endured the worst life could offer, from an abusive father to a joyless marriage. At sixty-eight, newly retired and chasing a fresh start, she settles in a quiet town on the Oregon coast. Free to reinvent herself and leave old wounds behind, Ann discovers newfound happiness-until she stumbles upon the body of a young boy, ensnared in a fishing net. When the police investigation stalls, Ann's own sense of justice compels her to dig deeper. With Sophie, a local shopkeeper eager to become a friend, Ann discovers unsettling truths about her new community-secrets the police refuse to touch. When a second body surfaces, strangers descend on the town, taking a troubling interest in Ann's sleuthing. Now, she finds herself caught in a treacherous web of power and crime, her world threatened by those who value nothing, not even human life.
