More about the book

"After she discovers her sister Tanya dead in her New York City townhouse, Letty Carnahan is certain she knows who did it: Tanya's ex; sleazy real estate entrepreneur Evan Wingfield. Even in the grip of grief and panic, Letty heeds her late sister's warning that anything bad happened to her, it would be Evan, and to promise to take Maya and run. So Letty grabs four-year-old niece Maya and hits the road. She sheds her old life and checks into an uncertain future at the Murmuring Surf Motel. As Letty settles in, she tries to unravel the strands of her sister's shady history. With danger closing in, it's a race to find the truth and right the wrongs of the past." -- Back cover
