Publisher's Synopsis
Chic and urbane Evelyn Ball thinks she is moving to a quaint and idyllic retreat from big city life when she moves to Virginia's Northern Neck on the Chesapeake Bay. She soon remembers that the seemingly calm waters and soft ocean breezes of the bay can have deep undercurrents, hurricane force winds, and very choppy water. Everyone has a secret, and everyone has a story. The sudden and mysterious death of a man she knew only as Smitty opens surprising new insights for Evelyn about herself and her new community.
