Summary

Gropper and McGill continue to operate as unlicensed private investigators, working out of a diner in Charleston, South Carolina.
 
While McGill handles the business end, rarely leaves the diner, and lives off a steady diet of pancakes, bacon, and coffee, Gropper must deal with a feared debt collector and former prizefighter, Daryl Jackson, and possible retribution from the Cartel he and McGill had interfered with a few years earlier.
 
Not to mention, Gropper must reckon with the passing of time, loss of people close to him, and decide whether he can still do the job.

World War II is raging overseas, but life remains painfully quiet on the rugged New England fishing island of Fourth Cliff. With most of its able-bodied male inhabitants away in the service, the island is now home only to aged fishermen, concerned women and children, and second-rate soldiers guarding a low-priority military emplacement and camp for Italian POWs. 
 
 
 
With her husband Archie, Fourth Cliff's beloved police captain, off fighting in the Marines, Mary Beth Swann steps into his role. Though a cop herself, she has to fight for the respect of Fourth Cliff's hardscrabble residents. And that's before a murdered POW surfaces in a fisherman's net, followed by more bodies. 
 
 
 
Determined to find the killer, Swann must rely only on the help of a simple-minded deputy, a disgraced doctor, and a mob-connected mainlander to prove her worth to Fourth Cliff—and to herself. 
 
 
 
In the tradition of Where the Crawdads Sing and the BBC's Foyle's War, Michael Oren's novel seizes the listener and doesn't let go until the very end.
