Description

A quiet coastal village in post–World War II America is shaken when the secrets of the past and present collide in a riveting novel by the bestselling author of Under a Gilded Moon. Five years after the war, Amie Stilwell, a photo interpreter for an Allied unit in England, returns to her hometown in Maine.

Jobless and discouraged but stubbornly resourceful, she’s starting over in the same coastal village where her life once went so wrong.

Waiting for her is Shibby Travis, the surrogate mother with whom Amie never lost touch.

But the unexpected also awaits…A silent, abandoned boy is found with a note from a stranger pleading that he be watched over.

Amie and Shibby take him in, but the mysteries multiply when a Boston socialite is found dead in a nearby barn and an old friend, believed to be a casualty of war, suddenly reappears. Trained to see what others cannot, to scan for clues, and to expose enemies, Amie uses her skills to protect a child, solve a crime, and find the motive behind a veteran’s masquerade.

But through the hazy filter of a town’s secrets, Amie must also confront her own painful past.
