"She left home as the local pariah at twenty-two, but when a family tragedy brings her back, she must confront her tortured past--and a new danger in town that no one seems to understand but her. After years of self-exile, Jacinda 'Jac' Brodie is back in Brook Haven, South Carolina. But the small cliffside town no longer feels like home. Jac hasn't been there since the beloved chief of police fell to his death--and all the whispers said she was to blame. That chief was Jac's father. Racked with guilt, Jac left town with no plans to return. But when her granddad lands in the hospital, she rushes back to her family, bracing herself to confront the past.

And when Jac discovers one of her granddad's prized possessions in Faye's office, she knows she has to be right. But as Jac continues to dig, she stumbles upon dangerous truths that hit too close to home. With not only her life but also her family's safety on the line, Jac discovers that maybe some secrets are better left buried"--
