In the windswept coastal town of Wirramurra Bay, where salt air carries secrets as easily as it does the scent of the sea, Detective Jodi Brennan thought she'd found the peaceful posting she needed after exposing corruption in Adelaide.
What begins as the natural death of beloved postmistress Agnes Whitmore evolves into something far more sinister when handyman Tom Mitchell is found murdered at an abandoned quarry. When Tom's renovation work uncovers forty-year-old love letters and a birth certificate that challenges everything the community believed about its most respected family, Jodi must navigate both a complex investigation and the explosive social dynamics of a town where everyone knows everyone's business.
As pressure mounts from gambling debts, family loyalty, and long-buried affairs, Jodi uncovers links between Tom's search for his father and a web of deception that has shaped multiple lives across generations. With the Fairweather family's reputation crumbling and dangerous creditors circling, each revelation tests Jodi's detective skills and puts her understanding of small-town justice to the ultimate test.
But in a country where secrets fester beneath peaceful surfaces, some truths lead to violence that will kill to stay buried.
