When The Past Calls

Her secret is out. Her town is celebrating her. And now, she's a murder suspect.

For Linwood "Linny" Crane and Nora Penrose, life has finally found a quiet rhythm. The town of Ebonreach Bay is planning a massive "Seraphine Locke Event" to celebrate their local hero, the once-anonymous blogger who uncovers the secrets of the dead. But just as Nora begins to embrace her new life, a brutal murder at the Salt House Inn shatters the peace.

The victim is a tourist, and the evidence is as shocking as it is damning: Nora's professional name is carved into the wall above the body, and her fingerprints are on the murder weapon.

The ghosts of Nora's past become a present-day threat. Vengeful figures from her most dangerous cases descend on the quiet coastal town, each with a motive to see her fall.

With Sheriff Marshall Pike forced to view her as his prime suspect, Nora and Linny are on their own. They have one week. One week to navigate a maze of old grudges and new threats. One week to unmask a brilliant killer who has crafted the perfect frame-up. If they fail, the Seraphine Locke Event won't be a celebration of Nora's career-it will be the day she's arrested for murder.
