A dead whistleblower. A poisoned harbor. And someone in Blue Heron Bay is willing to kill to keep the truth buried.
Winter settles hard over Blue Heron Bay when a Tidewater Holdings employee is found dead beside Harbor Road in what police first call a tragic accident. But Molly McBeal knows better. Men don’t schedule secret meetings with civil rights attorneys hours before dying by coincidence.
Neither does Star.
Molly’s intuitive Mini Aussiedoodle has been restless for days, her blue eyes darkening whenever certain names come up. And when families near the harbor start getting sick while dolphins abandon the bay, Molly can’t ignore the pattern beneath the surface.
A powerful developer quietly buying contaminated waterfront properties has plenty to lose if the whistleblower talked. So does an environmental activist whose increasingly aggressive protests may have crossed a dangerous line. Both men were connected to the victim. Both were desperate to control what he knew.
But the deeper Molly digs, the more unsettling the truth becomes.
Because the person hiding the truth isn’t an outsider.
He’s someone trusted.
And when Star growls for only the second time in her life, Molly realizes the harbor isn’t just poisoned.
It’s deadly.
