Synopsis

When Jane moves back to Green Haven, the sleepy Maine fishing community where she was born, it's to escape the seamy crime scenes and unsavory characters that crossed her path in Miami. Surely whatever crimes are committed in touristy, idyllic down-east Maine won't involve anything as nasty as what she saw in Florida. It's a bit of a shock, then, when Nick Dow, the town drunk, turns up dead, and it's not the simple accident that everyone assumes it to be. The more Jane digs, the more confused she gets. Only two things are certain: Nothing is what it seems; and the whole town is in each other's business. But it's not until Jane impulsively hops on a boat with the killer - a boat that suddenly heads out to sea - that things become downright dangerous. As she proved in The Hungry Ocean, no one knows the sea like Linda Greenlaw. And as she proved in The Lobster Chronicles, no one spins better tales of Maine village life. This first installment in Greenlaw's mystery series features everything readers want: a great setting, wonderful characters, an authentic and original detective - and a story that will keep them on the edge of their seats.

About this title

Review:

"Greenlaw proves that she's as skillful a mystery writer as she is a fishing boat captain--and that's saying a lot. A fantastic read!" --Sebastian Junger on Slipknot

"Greenlaw, author of nonfiction bestsellers such as The Lobster Chronicles, has no trouble finding her sea legs in... this swiftly paced yarn." --Entertainment Weekly

"A sleepy Maine town, the local drunk found dead, a detective asking too many questions... No, not Murder, She Wrote--it's [Greenlaw's] first foray into mystery, and it's riveting." --People
