Then she finds the brutally beaten body of a young woman on the beach.
Worse, Gemi knows her. She just saw Heleena at the gym last night. How could she be dead?
After giving her statement to the police, she listens to their vow to find the killer, but Gemi doesn’t trust cops. She’s still bitter about their broken promises from thirteen years ago.
Determined that this case won’t go unsolved, Gemi sets off on her own to hunt down Heleena’s attacker. But as she gets closer to uncovering the truth, Gemi’s deepest fears rise to the surface.
If she’s right about who the killer is, nowhere in her world is safe.
Mystery and fantasy author Shawn McGuire loves creating characters and places her fans want to return to again and again. She started writing after seeing the first Star Wars movie (that's episode IV) as a kid. She couldn't wait for the next installment to come out so wrote her own. Sadly, those notebooks are long lost, but her desire to tell a tale is as strong now as it was then. She lives in Wisconsin near the beautiful Mississippi River and when not writing or reading, she might be baking, crafting, going for a long walk, or nibbling really dark chocolate.
