Description
The arrival of a celebrity athlete on a remote peninsula in New York's Thousand Islands unearths dark and deadly buried secrets in this heart-pounding blend of suspense and mystery, the first in the new North Country series--Agatha Christie meets Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley
It's almost summer in Cape Vincent, and as the heat rises, ex-professional ice hockey superstar Mikko Helle arrives, ready to move into his extravagantly renovated waterfront home. Mikko is 30, handsome, and wealthy. He's a stranger in town. There's no reason to suspect Mikko is anything other than he seems. Local married mother-of-two Nicole Durham works her connections hard to get hired as his cleaner. She needs this job--and not just because of the money. Nicole is desperate to expose a secret, and she's running out of time. But when Nicole disturbs an intruder while cleaning, New York State Police Investigator Tim Wellington discovers that the luxury mansion is hiding its own unthinkable truth. Deep in the basement lie the bones of a young woman, identity unknown. The celebrity athlete. The local. The thief. Everyone is hiding something--but someone in the North Country's a ruthless killer, and one of the three knows exactly who it is.More details
