From the bestselling author of the Detective Louise Blackwell series
comes a story of two murders, twenty years apart. There's only one
suspect. But what if he's innocent?
Twenty years ago, in the seaside town of Galveston, Texas, Annie Randall
took her dog for a walk. The dog returned. Annie did not. When her body
was found, cruelly broken and posed like a runner, there was only ever
one suspect: Annie's husband, Frank. Now he's served his time and come
home - but the locals won't let him forget. Especially when there's a
new 'running girl' murder...
Detective Laurie Campbell remembers Annie's case. She's also married to
the Randalls' son. Painfully conscious of the deep wounds within her
family, and still suffering from a personal tragedy of her own, Laurie
takes the lead on the new investigation. As much as the finger of
suspicion points to her father-in-law, something doesn't add up. If he
didn't commit the most recent murder, is it possible he never killed
Annie either? And if he didn't, who did?
As a terrifying hurricane hits Galveston, Laurie finds herself in a
dangerous race against time. Can she find the answers that could heal
her broken family before the wind and the waves hide them forever?
