After her husband’s suicide, mystery writer Diane Christie relocates with her son to the quiet coastal town of Fog Harbor, hoping to rebuild her shattered family.

When a girl from her daughter’s college is strangled, the tragedy takes a sinister turn— the killer calls the hotline to confess, demanding Diane’s help to stop the killings. As a new affection offers a glimmer of hope, more girls go missing. Diane faces a terrifying case that may strike too close to home, compelling her to confront her past and protect those she loves.
