Gone. Just gone.

Roxy Sperry, the stalwart manager of Marten's Marina is just plain gone.

Yeah, that Roxy—the chain-smoking dry wit who normally can't be rousted more than twenty feet from the bench where she holds court just outside the marina office. The woman who knows everybody and everything. The woman whose life motto is grit and pragmatism.

She's left behind one starting-to-panic teen granddaughter and a community of bewildered tenants.

But Eva Malloy and her detective husband, Vaughn, won't give up the pursuit—not for one nanosecond.

Even though it'd sure help if they knew what they were looking for. Information? Hidden secrets? The truth?

What truth? Or worse yet, which body?
