Irene
Chavez, from the Mason County sheriff’s department on Puget Sound investigates
the death of a young woman from an influential family on vacation. The Paris
family descends every summer to spend time together at the old family summer
place on the shore. But some families have secrets that can be deadly. Rosalie
Paris finds a body while off picking blackberries early one Sunday morning in
August. Ann Paris, sister-in-law, was found floating face down in the slough, a
short distance from Puget Sound. Ann had been out sailing the night before and
was killed by a blow to the head. Did the accident occur during sailing or is
it murder? Irene inserts herself into the family – including father, siblings
and assorted relatives while getting to know them at a depth they don’t even acknowledge
themselves.
A single
parent raising a fourteen year old boy on her own, Irene, widowed, her husband
mugged and killed in Los Angeles, decides that Puget Sound is safer place to
raise a teen. With her police experience in a bigger city, and the sheriff’s
department short staffed, she handles the investigation on her own.
As this police
procedural develops and gives an in depth look at an influential but fractured family,
their lives are revealed until the final moment when you learn what truly happened
to Ann.
