Jill Gardner has left her book-and-coffee shop behind to spend Thanksgiving week in coastal Oregon with her cop boyfriend, her golden retriever Emma, and a crowd of friends and family. But before the feast can start, foul play interrupts their vacation . . .
The rented house was supposed to be a relaxing getaway. But Jill and her companions feel a sense of danger instead. First, they learn that their hosts' son had a fiancรฉe, but her disappearance remains unexplainedโand then they meet some menacing members of a local trail-riding club. When one of Jill and Greg's friends finds human remains amid the dunesโwith a diamond ring around one mummified fingerโthings start heating up fast, and they'll be thankful just to survive through the long weekend . . .
