A tale of two murders that occurred twenty years apart comes from the best-selling author of the Detective Louise Blackwell series. Just one person is a suspect. But what if he isn't guilty?
Annie Randall went for a stroll with her dog in the coastal town of Galveston, Texas, twenty years ago. The dog came back. Annie wasn't. Frank, Annie's spouse, was the only one who ever really fit the bill once her corpse was discovered, horribly fractured, and posed like a runner. He has now completed his sentence and returned home, but the people here won't let him forget. particularly in light of the recent murder of a "running girl"
Laurie Campbell, a detective, is aware of Annie's situation. She is also wed to the son of the Randalls. Laurie takes the lead on the new inquiry, acutely aware of the severe scars in her family and still dealing with her own personal tragedy. Even though her father-in-law is the target of suspicion, something doesn't seem right. Is it conceivable that he never murdered Annie as well if he wasn't the one who killed her the most recently? And who else did if he didn't?
Laurie finds herself in a perilous race against time as a devastating storm makes landfall in Galveston. Before the wind and the waves permanently conceal them, will she discover the solutions that may mend her family's brokenness?
