At dawn off Pictou Harbour, a fisherman hauls up a lobster trap with a dead diver inside it. The trap's tag reads *T. MacEachern*-Tommy MacEachern, lost overboard three years ago, his body never found.
Corporal Stephanie Haller transferred to Pictou County for the quiet: eight months out of Halifax major crimes, a rented saltbox near the water, nobody knowing her name. Then a dead diver with no phone, harbour charts marked with a grid, and a town that buried its questions about Tommy MacEachern a long time ago.
The deeper she digs, the less anything looks like an accident. And when the evidence starts matching a file she left behind in Halifax-the one that broke her-Stephanie understands the truth:
She didn't outrun her past. She sailed straight into it.
