Shocking secrets within the unpublished WWII memoir of a murdered professor sets Thomas Martindale on the trail of a killer. Will he be next?
Oregon University Journalism professor and amateur sleuth, Thomas Martindale, is enjoying a summer vacation on the tranquil Oregon coast. During a brunch at the home of elderly friend, Simone Godard, he happily agrees to read her unpublished memoir. But when she reveals her fears that someone is trying to kill her, Tom is pulled into a tale of deceit that spans back to World War II.
The following day, Simone's fears are realized when Tom discovers her body at Yaquina Head lighthouse. Determined to unmask her killer, Tom looks for clues in her manuscript, which details Simone's participation in the French Resistance movement along with far more shocking secrets.
As the truth unravels, Martindale finds himself above the swirling waters of Yaquina Bay, face-to-face with those who will do anything to keep the past hidden.
