A girl searches for a killer on an island where deadly sirens lurk just beneath the waves in this twisty, atmospheric story that grips readers like a siren song (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
The sea holds many secrets.
Moira Alexander has always been fascinated by the deadly sirens who lurk along the shores of her island town. Even though their haunting songs can lure anyone to a swift and watery grave, she gets as close to them as she can, playing her violin on the edge of the enchanted sea. When a young boy is found dead on the beach, the islanders assume that hes one of the sirens victims. Moira isnt so sure.
Certain that someone has framed the boys death as a siren attack, Moira convinces her childhood friend, the lighthouse keeper Jude Osric, to help her find the real killer, rekindling their friendship in the process. With townspeople itching to hunt the sirens down, and their own secrets threatening to unravel their fragile new alliance, Moira and Jude must race against time to stop the killer before its too latefor humans and sirens alike.
