The nightmare begins at sea in a storm. Someone is afraid of water.
A new sapphic psychological thriller from two-time Goldie winner Frances Lucas.
For small-town attorney Keeley Creswick an invitation to cruise Alaska’s Inside Passage on a 90-foot super yacht with Hannah Granger, the woman she’s secretly loved since her arrival into Portland society is a dream come true. A shared stateroom, champagne nights, and the tantalizing hope that Hannah will finally see her as more than a companion is an opportunity too good to miss. The fact that some of Hannah’s other friends are going doesn’t seem important.
Then the nightmare begins. Someone on board the yacht plans to steal a priceless painting bound for Anchorage. At the same time a violent storm barrels toward them.
Caught between the rising sea and a dangerous criminal in their midst, Keeley must uncover who is lying and who is willing to kill before the storm swallows them whole. Because on open water where there’s nowhere to run, the woman she loves may be the most treacherous one of all.
