Where did Courtney Logan go? The former investment banker turned suburban dilettante had not lived in Shorehaven for long, but had begun to establish herself there.

Judith Singer wants to find her. Two decades after the thrilling case of a murdered dentist, the Long Island housewife is now town historian - and recently widowed. She needs a hobby, and Courtney Logan’s disappearance seems like just her kind of fun.
