When Lou Prescott bought the bookstore at Holiday Bay, she wanted it to be so much more than a quaint seaside business. 

She wanted it to be home to the cozy gathering of friends, she knew in her heart, would come together to share their lives, their hardships, and their victories.

With the change of the seasons, comes shorter days, cozy fireside get-togethers in the courtyard, and a new mystery for Lou and her group of amateur sleuths to solve.

Expect the unexpected in this gritty, tense, and page-turning mystery from New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton.

After multiple women go missing, Agent Melina Shepard of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation makes the impulsive decision to go undercover as a prostitute. While working the street, she narrowly avoids becoming a serial killer's latest victim; as much as it pains her to admit, she needs backup.

Or so she thought.
