Picture Salmon Bay: an isolated, run-down northern California village, home to an idle fleet of fishing boats, a deserted amusement park, and a handful of secretive, even hostile residents. When private investigator Sharon McCone arrives in search of one of the townâs wayward daughters, the trail leads to the thriving resort of Port San Marco.
McCone believes that the missing woman, a former social worker named Jane Anthony, was involved in the suspicious deaths of three terminally ill patients at an exclusive hospice. But the elusive Jane Anthony turns up all too soonâwashed up beneath a rotting pier in her Salmon Bay. McCone discovers that no oneânot her client, a reclusive photographer, nor Janeâs mother, nor her hospice employersâwants to find out why she died.
Then the killer strikes again, Janeâs secret life comes into focus, and McCone finds that someone wants her out of the pictureâpermanently.
