Journalist Jake Stewart thought rescuing a struggling small-town newspaper would be a simple assignment.
Until he learns the owners were murdered.
Now Jake is headed for a quirky coastal town where gossip travels faster than the tide — and someone is willing to kill to keep a long-buried treasure hidden.
Along the way, he picks up a mysterious hitchhiker with secrets of her own. But once Jake arrives, the case grows stranger by the day. Between cranberry bogs, local legends, and rumors of organized crime moving quietly through the community, it’s clear the truth won’t stay buried for long.
As Jake follows the clues, he discovers that saving the newspaper may mean exposing secrets someone would do anything to protect — even if it puts Jake and his new ally directly in the killer’s path.
