Forty year-old Nicola Rhys-Jones is a woman in hiding. Fleeing an abusive husband, she finds refuge in Boscastle, a village on the rugged coast of Cornwall, England. Andrew Stratton is an American professor of architectural theory. Shocked out of his academic bubble when his ambitious wife leaves him, he signs up for something tangible: a course in the art of stone wall-building-in Boscastle. From the moment they meet, Nicola and Andrew are attracted to each other, but at daggers drawn. Nicola, sexy yet sarcastic, is an expert at fending off men. In Andrew, she meets her match: quick-witted, funny, yet gentle-he gives as good as he gets. When a nine year-old sprite named "Lee" befriends them both, she sees straight through their defensive armor. What none of them know is that a ferocious storm is brewing, one that could destroy them, and the entire village they call home. And that storm is about to hit.

Penwith, the southwest tip of Cornwall, is a land of mystery and magic, of prehistoric monuments, witchcraft...and murder. When an American archaeological team stumbles upon the skeletal remains of a missing child beneath a Stone Age burial quoit, irascible CID Detective Sergeant Morgan Davies and her Scene of Crimes partner, Calum West, unearth a growing list of suspects.Within days, another body is discovered. Is the killer the mind-reading village witch-who has long been a suspect in the child's disappearance? Is it the drug-dealing partner of the child's heroin-addicted mother? Or is it someone even closer to the investigation? Just as Davies and West close in on their prime suspect, another child disappears.

Every summer for generations, three families intertwined by history, marriage, and career have spent "the season" at their beach cottages on an island in Puget Sound. Today, Martha "Pete" Petersen, married to Tyler Strong, is the lynchpin of the summer people. In childhood, she was the tomboy every girl wanted to emulate and is now the mother everyone admires.Colin Ryan, family friend and the island's veterinarian, first met Pete years earlier in London, when she visited his roommate, Tyler. He's loved her ever since. Born in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen, son of a bar owner, he's always been dazzled by the sun-kissed lives of the summer people.But this summer, currents strong as the tides roil: jealousies grow, tempers flare, passions clash. Then, on the last day of the season, a series of betrayals alters the combined histories of these families forever.

Three years after surviving a catastrophic flood (Will North's Water, Stone, Heart), twelve year old Lee Trelissick has settled into a safer life with her adoptive parents, Nicola and Andrew. But before long, preternaturally wise Lee announces, “Someone wants to do us harm. Someone evil.”She's right. A series of increasingly malicious events soon cast a pall over Trevega House and the surrounding village. Arson, poison, a nearly fatal cliffside attack—but no suspect. And finally, a murder. Can Detective Inspector Morgan Davies and her Scene of Crimes manager Calum West protect the strangely prescient girl and stop the killer before it's too late?
