An unsolved murder. A vanished suspect. And a town about to be erased.
Attorney Grace Reagan and her husband, retired Chief Mac McNamara, are drawn into a decades-old cold case—but for very different reasons.
An ambitious senator wants to publicize—and solve—his father's 1969 murder before he launches his run for governor. Mac wants no part of the political circus that will ensue—until he learns his sister-in-law was once married to the man the town blamed, a boy who fled the day after the killing. With no hard evidence and no other leads, the court of public opinion convicted Miles Hayes long ago.
While Mac digs into the case, the Hayes family hires Grace to protect their interests, and life at the Reagan-McNamara house gets complicated. Their search for answers leads them to a tiny Eastern Shore village slated for demolition to make way for a new resort. In a few short weeks, the scene of the murder will be gone for good.
What really happened in 1969? There are many theories, now local legends, and every one of them points to the same eighteen-year-old boy who’s been missing for fifty-five years. But what if he's innocent?
What if the killer never left at all?
