Jessica Chamberlain and her SAR dog Luke hunt for lost people in Tidewater Virginia, but that's a side hustle: Jess's PI work pays the bills. Right now, she's looking for a girl who ran away 20 years ago and the truth about a man's suicide. When someone runs her off the road and her house burns down, she could take the hint and leave--but she won't. Regrouping in a fleabag motel, Jess battles loneliness and anxiety. Then a rich man asks her to find his runaway wife and she happily accepts his hefty advance. Soon she's on the Eastern Shore, between sea and sky, bay and ocean, the present and the past. Will Jess find the woman before fear finds them both?
