People die. Secrets dont.
Sam Hutchings was looking for a writing muse. She hoped that the family cabin at Bird Lake would spark her keyboard, a fire that had been smothered by self-loathing, cheap wine, and her daughter Megs summer vacation. An innocent stroll down memory lane begins to unravel the story Sam had heard about her father: What did he do for a living How did he actually die Those who know the truth are nearer than she imagines, and protecting their secrets is worth killing for. As the old family stories begin to disintegrate, can Sam and Meg figure out the actual story And can they uncover the dangerous plot by ex-U.S. military men before its too late

"Credible characters and a suspenseful, complex plot bode well for Clark's next." -- Publishers Weekly
