"When former Miami homicide detective Jane Bunker left her big-city life for Green Haven, Maine, she thought she was also leaving behind the pollution, noise, and dead bodies. Well, as any New Englander will tell you, two out of three ain't bad. After solving a murder and surviving a couple of attempts on her life (recounted in the bestselling mystery Slipknot), Jane Bunker believes she's finally earned a respite from murder and intrigue. But if she thinks it's time for her to soak up the peace and quiet she's been seeking, she should think again. On her way back from a routine investigation into some smashed equipment, Jane takes a moment to appreciate the beauty of a Maine autumn - there's the sublime rainbow foliage of the highlands, the serene reflections of the setting sun on the bay's gentle waves, the elegant silhouette of a lobster boat on the bay. But her calm lasts only as long as it takes for Jane to make the chilling discovery that the vessel is in serious trouble with nobody aboard - and that its owner has vanished without a trace... And that's the least of the mysteries. A young mariner dead of a heroin overdose; the real agenda of a charismatic Indian leader; a missing bait iron and a corpse painted red - nothing is what it seems."

"Life in rural Green Haven hasn't been quite the stress-reliever Jane Bunker was hoping for. Taking a moment one fall evening to admire the sight of a lobster boat illuminated by a sunset over the bay, she quickly realizes that the craft is in trouble. When she finds there's no one aboard, it opens up a mystery that gets deeper and stranger the more she digs into it."@en
"Linda Greenlaw's second novel, after bestselling Slipknot, follows marine investigator Jane Bunker who has recently moved back to a sleepy Maine community, thinking that she's earned a nice respite from murder and intrigue. Old town secrets are revealed as Jane Bunker's forays take her deeper and deeper to the dark underbelly of deceptively idyllic Green Haven, Maine. Jane already knows that Green Haven is a small town with big secrets, but she never imagined one of them would hit so close to home."@en
