Maddie Arnette needs a break. After being chased by a madman and held at gunpoint, she heads to the charming coastal town of Cape Mayson, North Carolina to heal. But when she finds a dead man floating in the water, her sabbatical turns into a quest for the truth. Police call it a drowning, but Maddie is not convinced. Everyone in the small town seems to know something about what happened, but they are afraid to reveal too much. Maddie is determined to unravel the complicated web of secrets. At the same time, her family tragedy is also unraveling--her father, Roger, may have been in prison for decades for a crime he did not commit--murdering her mother. New evidence that Maddie uncovered could lead to a new trial, and even his freedom. The detective helping her bring this to light, Zack Brumson, is interested in more than just friendship. Is she ready for love after Adam's death? You won't be disappointed as Maddie trades in her microphone for a paddle board to seek justice for a man staring up at her from a watery grave.

When a woman in the grocery store claims that Maddie’s father did not kill her mother, the revelation forces the journalist toward a reckoning. Is it possible that her father has sat in prison for almost forty years for a crime he did not commit? And if he didn’t do it, who did?  Maddie barely has time to absorb this earth-shattering news when she is called to report on what appears to be a suicide. Tilly Dawson is found shot to death on her driveway, a gun by her side. But right away something about the situation doesn’t feel right to Maddie. Before long, the tough television reporter finds herself delving once more into a dark world of violence, secrets, and intrigue. This time around Maddie must put her own life on the line to guarantee that the truth will prevail.
