Two skeletons. One room. Decades apart.
When demolition crews uncover a sealed-off room inside the long-abandoned Hollow Pines Motel, Detective Cassie Adler is called in to investigate, and what she finds stuns even her: the skeletal remains of two bodies. One is fresh. The other is older, forgotten... possibly buried since 1979.
The evidence doesn't add up. And neither does the silence coming from Rainshadow Bay's oldest, most respected families.
Once a rising star in Seattle's homicide division, Cassie thought she'd left her past behind when she took a quieter job in this sleepy coastal town. But Hollow Pines has its own ghosts, and someone is working very hard to keep them buried. With the help of her partner, Deputy Logan Reyes, Cassie begins unraveling a chilling trail of secrets, one that leads deep into the town's tangled history.
The fresher victim was a drifter, a known petty criminal. But the older bones? They belong to Daphne MacAllister, the daughter of one of Rainshadow Bay's founding families, last seen over forty years ago before she mysteriously vanished. As Cassie probes deeper, she uncovers whispers of blackmail, coercion, and a secret pregnancy that was never supposed to see the light of day.
But when the evidence starts pointing to the powerful MacAllister dynasty and their longtime business associate, real estate mogul Winston Cole, Cassie finds herself navigating a deadly minefield of old money, new lies, and generational sin. Someone has been pulling strings in the shadows for decades, and now that Cassie is closing in, they're willing to kill again.
Every secret has a cost. And in Rainshadow Bay, the price is paid in silence... and blood.
