As Montrealer Catherine Day sets foot in a remote fishing village and
starts asking around about her birth mother, the body of a woman dredges
up in a fisherman's nets. Not just any woman, though: Marie Garant, an
elusive, nomadic sailor and unbridled beauty who once tied many a man's
heart in knots.
Detective Sergeant Joaquin Morales, newly drafted to the area from the
suburbs of Montreal, barely has time to unpack his suitcase before he's
thrown into the deep end of the investigation. On Quebec's outlying
Gaspe Peninsula, the truth can be slippery, especially down on the
fishermen's wharves.
