In Sweet Cove, the Maritime Festival is the celebration of the summer. This year, it's also a crime scene.
When a local collapses in front of half the town, everyone assumes nature took its course. Grace Jordan isn't so sure. With twenty years as a security analyst and a knack for cracking cases, she knows things aren't always what they appear—and something about this death just doesn't cut it.
As Grace digs beneath the surface, she uncovers a thirty-five-year-old secret, a devastating deathbed letter, and a surprising number of people with stiff grudges: a long-suffering assistant, a gruff longshoreman, and a feisty new felon with nothing to lose.
With a new sheriff shaking up law enforcement, new neighbors dismantling her carefully guarded solitude, and a killer who's made Grace the next target, she's never had less peace—or more reason to find answers fast.
Because in Sweet Cove, even paper cuts spell murder.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
