    In a brilliantly twisted debut set among Boston's elite, a captivating sleuth, Hester Thursby, tackles a missing persons case that reveals a trail of murder. Hester, a Harvard librarian, utilizes her research skills to run a side business locating lost individuals, typically reuniting long-ago prom dates or adopted children with their birth parents. Her latest challenge is finding the charming Sam Blaine, who has no intention of being found. Years ago, Sam fled his small New Hampshire town with his friend Gabe after a traumatic incident. For over a decade, they have traveled the country, reinventing themselves and manipulating wealthy, lonely individuals to gain access to their lives. In Wendy Richards, the stunning daughter of a powerful Boston family, Sam sees an opportunity to infiltrate a world of luxury and privilege. As Hester's investigation uncovers dark truths, the bond between Sam and Gabe becomes strained, putting Hester's safety at risk. Gabe, desperate for a normal life, looks to Hester for hope, while Sam sees her as a threat that must be eliminated. Gabe has always followed Sam's lead, complicating their already precarious situation.

    "Hester Thursby has given up using her research skills to trace people who don't want to be found. A traumatic case a few months ago unearthed a string of violent crimes, and left Hester riddled with self-doubt and guilt. Caring for a four-year-old is responsibility enough in a world filled with terrors Hester never could have imagined before. Finisterre Island, off the coast of Maine, is ruggedly beautiful and remote--the kind of place tourists love to visit, though rarely for long. But not everyone who comes to the island is welcome. A dilapidated Victorian house has become home to a group of squatters and junkies, and strangers have a habit of bringing trouble with them. A young boy disappeared during the summer, and though he was found safely, the incident stirred suspicion among locals. Now another child is missing. Summoned to the island by a cryptic text, Hester discovers a community cleaning up from a devastating storm--and uncovers a murder. Soon Hester begins to connect the crime and the missing children. And as she untangles the secrets at the center of the small community, she finds grudges and loyalties that run deep, poised to converge with a force that will once again shake her convictions about the very nature of right and wrong..."--Provided by publisher
