Private investigator Katie Bell just wanted a weekend away from the ghosts of her past and the burn of cheap bourbon. But when a passenger is found dead in a locked cabin aboard the Island Queen, the vacation is over. As a storm rolls in, cutting the ship off from the mainland, Katie finds herself navigating a sea of suspects-from a grieving widow with a hidden agenda to a lounge pianist who knows too much.
Partnering with a weary federal agent, Katie must untangle a web of wartime secrets and blackmail before the killer can strike again. In a world where the truth is as elusive as the horizon, Katie Bell discovers that some secrets are better left at the bottom of the ocean. The sea may be still, but it never forgets.
