Police Chief Matt Horning and Special Agent Fern Byrne return in a suspenseful story when billionaire Rohn Reid calls his old friend, the U.S. Secretary of State, to tell him he's found a dead body on his private island - Cold Rock Island, about thirty minutes off the southern Oregon coast.

In the high-powered heritage of Ann Cleeves, the puzzling island death turns into a gripping challenge for the local law enforcement team. Working in tandem on two vicious cases, their resources are stretched to the limit. Will it stretch their relationships as well?
