When a retired Boston detective is found dead in Whisker Cove, the whole town assumes it’s tied to the late Harriet Winslow’s dangerous legacy. But Maggie Harper knows the truth is far more sinister. The murdered investigator had discovered a glaring discrepancy in a 23-year-old police report about a teenager who accidentally drowned at the local granite quarry. Two sets of footprints went to the water, but only one walked away. As Maggie digs into the decades-old tragedy, she realizes the killer isn’t a shadowy stranger—it’s someone the town trusts implicitly. With a killer desperate to keep their lifelong penance a secret, Maggie must race to uncover who else was at the quarry that night, even if the truth breaks the town’s heart
