Chloe Scott, Juice Bar Owner and Police Consultant. Chloe runs her juice bar on Bluebird Island, where tourists come for the sun and the views — until a panicked young man bursts into the station convinced a small gold figurine is a death threat. She wants to keep a frightened stranger safe and uncover the truth behind the warnings stalking him. A rigid new deputy dismisses her instincts, and the island’s prettiest corners hide its oldest grudges.

Frankie Roth, Reclusive Heir to a Family Tragedy. Frankie has spent two decades haunted by his author parents’ unsolved deaths, hiding in a crumbling manor at the island’s edge. He wants to finally understand who took his parents — and why the past has come for him now. Facing the truth means confronting a fear he has guarded his whole life.

The warnings echo the last book Frankie’s parents ever wrote, and someone wants what they believe is rightfully theirs. If Chloe and the detective can’t watch over a haunted man and pull truth from twenty years of silence, an old injustice claims one more life — and a family secret stays buried forever.
