When a fifteen-year-old girl is viciously murdered in the tranquil community of Seward Island, Washington, police begin a daunting search for suspects in a case that reveals Seward's darkest prejudices and worst fears.

Ensconced in a Pacific Northwest paradise on Seward Island, Jerry Frankel, a high school history teacher, unexpectedly finds himself the primary suspect in a brutal stabbing of 15-year-old Tara Breckinridge. Soon the mob mentality of outraged citizens transforms the bucolic island into a place where bigoted viewpoints emerge as dangerous as the killer. In their efforts to solve the island's first homicide, Ruben Martinez, chief of police, and Detective Ginger Earley, discover that their professional admiration for one another has taken a romantic detour. Their suspects include Malcom Purdy, an ex-marine who conducts mysterious munitions training camps at his isolated bunker; Danny Leo, who tutored Tara in secret sessions; and Frankel, the Jewish teacher with a suspicious past back East. In her second novel, Sloan affirms her talent as a masterful mystery writer by showering the reader with a meteoric panorama of spine-tingling emotions, conspiracy, and drama.
