A loony conspiracy broadcaster has a deadly secret. Hiding the secret of the dead girl means everyone gets paid. Robin Goode believes in justice, fair or otherwise. She doesn’t care about money or dirty business as usual.
When she discovers a cold, tied body abandoned in her coastal Maine town, the lucrative summer tourist season and her life are threatened as she tries to find the killer while the other cops want her silenced forever.
