Lunenburg

A small town. A thirty-year-old secret. And a killer on the loose.

On a hot July night near Lunenburg, Novia Scotia, a young boy witnesses a brutal murder. Thirty years later, it's about to become front-page news all over again . . .

Annie Welles is an officer with the Robbery and Violent Crimes Unit of the Halifax Regional Police - a high-pressure job which has cost her her marriage. And now Annie is being frozen out by ambitious colleagues in the police department. So when two seemingly motiveless and unrelated murders are committed on her patch, Annie has a chance to redeem herself - or watch her career as well as her family go down the tubes.

Then Annie meets John Taggart, a Scottish journalist desperate for a scoop. Both are at turning points in their lives and both are about to become entangled in the double murder case - and Lunenburg's long-buried history. The town's dark secrets hold the key for both of them - but digging them up could be the last thing they want to do . . .
