Some calls are meant to guide you home. Others lead straight into danger.

When Chief Brynn Hadley discovers the missing herbs include deadly foxglove and monkshood, it becomes clear the culprit knew exactly what they were looking for. What begins as a shocking act of vandalism soon uncovers secrets buried for generations, hidden loyalties, and a mystery someone is willing to kill to protect.
With Rufus, her exceptionally insightful canine, following scents no one else can detect, Nora finds herself drawn into the forgotten history of Sealight Cove. As another attack proves the danger is far from over, she must untangle a web of long buried truths before the past claims another victim.
