Perfect for you if...

  • You love procedurals with deeply flawed protagonists who bend the rules when it matters most.
  • You're drawn to mysteries where the detective's personal demons are as dangerous as the case itself.
  • You appreciate stories set on the Pacific Northwest coast with a claustrophobic, morally grey atmosphere.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need clear heroes and straightforward resolutions to feel satisfied by a crime novel.
  • You're uncomfortable with storylines involving harm to children, even when handled seriously.
  • You prefer police procedurals that stick strictly to protocol rather than exploring how far an officer will actually go.

About this book

Homicide detective Nicole Foster has rebuilt her life and returned to her childhood home on the Washington coast, where she raises her niece and cares for her aging father. She hopes for a fresh start, but her past resurfaces when a disturbing new case triggers memories of a previous investigation that damaged her career. During an exceptionally hot August, a toddler is discovered dead in a parked car. The father claims he forgot her—a shocking crime that becomes even more difficult for Nicole when an old rival from her past reappears and begins pressuring her. As Nicole pursues the case, she must confront her own secrets while determining how far she is willing to go to solve it and what she is prepared to risk.
