When a fifty-year-old journal resurfaces with a guest, innkeeper Claire Whitmore must unravel a murder disguised as an accident -- before the killer strikes again.

A guest arrives at The Whitmore Inn clutching her sister's journal -- certain that fatal fall was no accident.

Claire's eagle-eyed instincts and analytical curiosity pull her into the investigation, despite warnings to stay away from the lighthouse.

With Gatsby -- her fifteen-pound Maine Coon -- at her side sensing danger, Claire assembles her found family to help: tech-savvy Amelia, gruff handyman Walt, and gossip-hub baker Doris.

When the inn is bugged, Claire is stalked and threatened. Secrets unfold, a fire breaks out and a powerful retired judge closes ranks. Claire realizes someone's been watching Saltcliff Cove residents for decades.

If Claire can't expose the truth hidden in shipping documents and lighthouse keeper's logs, the killer will ensure this cold case stays frozen. She may be the next victim.
