Growing up, Nora Watts only knew one parent—her father. When he killed himself, she denied her grief and carried on with her life. Now, a chance encounter with a veteran who knew him raises questions Nora can’t ignore—and dark emotions she can’t control. To make her peace with the past, she has to confront it, and her search for the truth takes her from Vancouver to Detroit, where she discovers that the circumstances surrounding Sam Watts’ suicide are more unsettling than she’d imagined.

Yet no matter how far away Nora gets from Vancouver, she can’t shake trouble. Back in the Pacific Northwest, former police detective turned private investigator Jon Brazuca is looking into the overdose death of a billionaire’s mistress. His search uncovers a ruthless opiate ring and a startling connection to Nora—but he has no way to warn or protect her, because she’s become a ghost, vanishing completely off the grid.

Focused on the mysterious events of her father’s past and the clues they provide to her own fractured identity, Nora may not be able to see the danger heading her way . . . until it’s too late.
