A dead woman washes ashore. She already died-three years ago.
Chief Ellie Cook doesn't believe in ghosts. But when a girl presumed dead turns up face-down on the rocks near Cape Meares Lighthouse, the case cracks open something rotten. The girl's name was Ava Clark. Officially? She committed suicide in state custody. Unofficially? She was silenced.
Now Ellie is chasing a buried network of foster kid trafficking, identity laundering, and bodies that were never supposed to be found. And just beneath the surface-Rosie. The foster sister Ellie lost fifteen years ago. Maybe not as lost as she thought.
With pills in her system, fire in her chest, and secrets clawing at her heels, Ellie navigates twisted alliances, a searing fling with a state narcotics officer, and a dangerous almost-love with her former therapist, Dr. Alexa Mendoza.
Addiction. Grief. Justice. Obsession. This is coastal noir at its rawest.
Perfect for fans of Tana French, Gillian Flynn, and gritty queer mysteries with heart.
