Most summer evenings, when she's finished working at the Rainbow Cafe, Maud Chadwick sits at the end of the pier, watching the party across the water. Her thoughts usually turn to her son, Chad, as she tries to reconcile her pain at his absence with the knowledge that children must leave their parents if they are to grow.
Sometimes Maud is joined by sheriff Sam DeGheyn, who finds in her quiet company a refuge from the problems of his own marriage, - and from his increasingly professional concerns. For the town's sleepy atmosphere is deceptive: three local women have been murdered and Sam suspects the wrong man has been convicted - and that the real killer is readying himself to strike again . . .
