A widowed and unemployed New England journalist decides to dig into a very cold case, in this novel that "zips along like a well-tuned snowmobile" (Anne Hillerman, New York Times-bestselling author of Lost Birds).
Isabel Long has had a bad year. Her husband died unexpectedly, and she lost her longtime job as editor-in-chief of a newspaper. Living with her ninety-two-year-old mother and having some time on her hands, Isabel decides to investigate a cold case—her first big story as an independent reporter—about a woman who disappeared twenty-eight years ago in her small western Massachusetts town.
To research further—and to make ends meet—she takes a job at the local watering hole, where she can get up close and personal with those connected to the mystery. But getting too close to the truth can be dangerous . . .
As a journalist, Isabel never gave up on a story. Now, as an amateur private investigator, she's not about to go down without a fight, no matter the cost . . .
