Description
Lilli Masters, a photojournalist, arrives in Grayrocks, a resort town on Long Island, eager to photograph the rambunctious Labor Day activities.
When she checks into Baywatch Inn and discovers that two women are missing, she promises Gram Jenkins, the innkeeper, to look for them. That turns into an unexpectedly pleasant task when handsome New York City detective Zack Faraday, visiting for the weekend, offers to help.
Soon after Lilli photographs the area surrounding the Montauk Steps, a ceremonial site sacred to the Montauk Indians, a mysterious stranger destroys her work. As his violent behavior escalates, Lilli is convinced that her photographs offer clues to the whereabouts of the missing women and that her fate is connected to theirs. Caught up in the ensuing manhunt and running for her life, Lilli struggles to save herself and the people she has come to care about.

"Diane Sawyer...has published The Montauk Mystery and The Montauk Steps, both set in Long Island and featuring interesting information about the Native Americans who lived there and the relics they have left...There's also a nice love story and a feisty grandmother to liven things up." -The Tampa Bay Times"If you like mysteries, perhaps you'd like to cuddle up with a good read by Diane Sawyer, a former teacher and administrator in the East Ramapo Central School District. A prolific writer, she recently had two books in a series, The Montauk Mystery and The Montauk Steps, published in the same year." -News Briefs
