“Dark and brooding . . .a well-hammered tale.” —New York Times Books Review

The body of a woman washes up near Point Deception, California—a day after she was spotted near her broken-down car on the highway. Deputy Sheriff Rhoda Swift worries the woman's brutal rape and murder will resurrect fears from the unsolved massacre of two families thirteen years before. When Rhoda investigates with journalist Guy Newberry, a shocking truth will test how far she is willing to go for justice.
