Four days earlier Jennifer Silkwell was found dead on the rocks of the Maine coastline. A high
ranking analyst for the CIA, she had knowledge of national security secrets that would be valuable to
a number of enemies. And her Senator father once saved DC Emerson Campbell's life.

Potter in Maine. But small towns can harbour big secrets, and not everyone wants to share them
with outsiders. Not when there's a killer on the loose . . .
