The New York Times-bestselling author "is at her most wildly entertaining, wickedly witty best" in this edgy novel of memory and murder (Booklist, starred review).
I have three confessions to make:
1. I've got the scar of a gunshot on my forehead.
2. I don't remember an entire year of my life.
3. My name is Kellen Adams... and that's half a lie.
Running-from a year she can't remember, from a husband she prays is dead, from homelessness and fear-tough, capable Kellen Adams takes a job as assistant manager of a remote vacation resort on the North Pacific Coast. There amid the towering storms and the lashing waves, she hopes to find sanctuary. But when she discovers a woman's dead and mutilated body, she's soon trying to keep her own secrets while investigating first one murder... then another.
Now every guest and employee is a suspect. Every friendly face a mask. Every kind word a lie. Kellen's driven to defend her job, her friends, and the place she's come to call home. Yet she wonders: With a previous head injury and amnesia that leaves her unsure of her own past, could the killer be staring her in the face?
"A series of twists and turns lead to a surprise ending... Dodd does a masterly job of maintaining suspense." -Publishers Weekly
"[Dodd] brings her typical intelligence and inventiveness to the plot... vivid, creative." -Kirkus Reviews
"Her signature style-edgy, intense, twisty, emotional-leaves you breathless from first page to last. Readers who enjoy Nora Roberts will devour Dodd's electrifying novels." -Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times-bestselling author of Sleep No More
