Publisher's Synopsis
In 1930s California, glamour and seduction spawn a multitude of sins in this New York Times bestseller from the author of Tightrope.
At the exclusive Burning Cove Hotel on the coast of California, rookie reporter Irene Glasson finds herself staring down at a beautiful actress at the bottom of a pool....

With Oliver's help, Irene soon learns that the glamorous paradise of Burning Cove hides dark and dangerous secrets. And that the past-always just out of sight-could drag them both under....
