In Saltcliff Cove, some secrets are buried deep. Others wash ashore with the tide.

Estranged from her mother, Claire Whitmore inherits a crumbling Victorian mansion in coastal Saltcliff Cove.

But when an antiques dealer dies on the ferry -- dropping hints about her family's property -- Claire realizes her inheritance comes with deadly strings attached.

Armed with her paralegal instincts and her scene-stealing Maine Coon cat, Gatsby, Claire uncovers a web of blackmail, corruption, and murder reaching back decades. Her mother, Ruth, wasn't just protecting the house -- she was preparing to expose the town's darkest secrets. And someone killed her for it.

As Claire navigates quirky locals, hidden tunnels, and a suspiciously helpful sheriff, she discovers the truth about her mother's death, her unknown father, and a generations-old shipwreck mystery. But exposing a killer means risking everything, including her own life.

Claire must unravel family legacies, small-town lies, and mysterious lights and break-ins before she is the next victim.
