No cases to focus on, no leads to investigate, just a whole summer on a remote West Cork peninsula with her teenage daughter Lilly and her boyfriend, Conor and his son.

But as Maggie gets to know the residents of the nearby village and learns about the history of the peninsula and its abandoned Anglo-Irish manor house, once home to a famous Irish painter who died under mysterious circumstances, she starts to think there's something else going on. Something deadly. And when Lilly starts dating one of the dead man's friends, Maggie grows worried about her daughter being so close to another investigation and about what the investigation will uncover. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOld secrets, hidden relationships, crime, and village politics are woven throughout this small seaside community, and as the summer progresses, Maggie is pulled deeper into the web of lies, further from those she loves, and closer to the truth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSARAH STEWART TAYLOR\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the Sweeney St. George series and the Maggie D'arcy mysteries.
