About the book
Despite never wanting children, detective Eden Driscoll finds himself taking care of his nephew Finn after his estranged sister disappears from her sailboat. Resettling in the seaside town of Teignmouth, Eden tries to navigate his newfound role as a parent. However, when Finn goes missing from school, Eden is certain something is terribly wrong.
After his sister's body is found in the sea, local authorities declare her death an accident. But Eden is not convinced, as she was a skilled sailor who would never go out to sea without a life jacket. Determined to uncover the truth, Eden delves into his sister's life, leading him to startling revelations that will change everything.
