A cryptic message, a body on the bluff, and a town full of secrets

A cryptic message. A body on the bluff. A coastal town full of secrets.

When private investigator Rosalind Harper returns to Sunset Cove, Maine to visit her Aunt Ivy, she stumbles onto a murder steeped in family secrets and old betrayals.

The victim?

Earl "Big Rig" Dalton-owner of a local chop-shop and a man with no shortage of enemies. Suspects abound: the smooth-talking Mayor Whitlock, whose land deals Big Rig may have threatened, and Rosalind's best friend Megan, a nosy amateur sleuth who was warned to stop poking around in town records.

With help from a brooding detective, a brilliant tech sidekick, and her aunt's unnervingly perceptive Maine Coon cat, Perry (as in, Mason), Rosalind begins to untangle a mystery far messier than expected.

But as secrets rise to the surface, Rosalind must confront a past others tried to bury-and a killer who's much closer than she thinks.

If she doesn't solve this fast, she may be the next victim.
