A puzzling attack. A web of dark secrets. A race against time.

In the tranquil seaside town of Cape Unity, Virginia, a young girl's puzzling attack shatters the calm, revealing a dark undercurrent of violence. Detective Scott Drayco, a seasoned investigator with a keen eye for detail, senses there's more to the story than meets the eye. With no leads, no motives, and no suspects, Drayco is drawn into a complex and dangerous investigation that uncovers twisted relationships and buried family secrets.

As he digs deeper, Drayco encounters a disfigured man with a mysterious past, his enigmatic Goth son, and a potential link to a series of unsolved murders in Washington, D.C. Every discovery pulls him further into a web of deceit and danger, where each shadow conceals a threat, and every step could be his last.

Drayco's growing feelings for a town councilman's wife add another layer of complexity to the case, testing his judgment and focus. As the investigation intensifies, Drayco must untangle the sinister web before the shadowy figure strikes again. With time running out, the next victim could be anyone—even Drayco himself.

      Crime consultant and pianist Scott Drayco is the sudden owner of an opera house on Virginia's Delmarva Peninsula, a present from a former client. Contracted for a job in the area and looking to sell the property quickly, he reluctantly makes the trip to the small coastal town. His hope for a swift turnaround is ruined when the new client's body is found in the opera house with a "G" carved into his chest. The murder unearths the town's many secrets, and Drayco gets caught up in the drama. Still affected from his previous botched case--a detail that sheds compelling light on his character--he must put his hesitations aside and find a killer. VERDICT An engaging lead and atmospheric setting make for an ideal travel read. [See "Striking a Cord: SELF-esteem," 1/13/17.]--Kate DiGirolomo, Library Journal
