Cordelia Corbett’s new life in Point Pleasant Beach is anything but quiet. After moving into her late grandmother’s lakeside home, Cordelia has been building her investigation business with the help of Shelby Irons, her quick-witted live-in sidekick.

Teaming up with her on-again, off-again flame, Detective Clint Daniels, Cordelia is determined to find out how and why the woman died. Was it a tragic accident, or is something darker lurking beneath the surface?
