After nearly two years of hard-fought sobriety, Salem Grimes thinks she’s on the right track to reclaim a ‘normal’ life, with her husband, Tony, by her side. She is ready to take a break from her amateur sleuth adventures with her octogenarian partner-in-crime-solving friend, Viv, and work on building a family of her own.
Until ghosts from her past reappear.
A teenage girl has run away and no one has a clue where she could be.
But Salem fears she knows what the girl ran from. They share a mutual acquaintance who left deep scars on Salem’s heart. Embarking on a road trip to search for the missing girl, Salem faces down a gang of bullying raccoons and her own flaring addictions on her mission to right the wrongs that weigh on her.
Will finding the runaway girl allow Salem to heal from the old wounds she carries with her? Or send her spiraling back into self-destructive habits?
