Synopsis

Evil has a unique scent. Dare you follow it?

As a winter storm rages over the coastal city of Brighton, torrential rain exposes a shallow grave up on the cliffs, while a teenager goes rogue with a shotgun in a supermarket and a violent robbery is staged in an upmarket boutique. The resulting body count stretches the resources of the Brighton police. They badly need leads, but can they trust the testimony of Ciara O'Cleary, the sole witness to the robbery – who saw nothing, but seems to be offering vital clues?
The slight, young Irishwoman is a supersmeller: buffeted and often overpowered by all the odours that surround her, her special gift could also be considered a curse. Is it even real? Is she an innocent witness, or a key operator in a carefully planned crime? The investigating detectives are divided, but maverick Sergeant Kate Darroch decides to risk her career by following the scent of Ciara's evidence, which leads her deep into Brighton's criminal underworld.

    “Great romantic thriller. Gritty, realistic, and yet deeply romantic.” — New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz.  
    Evidence that a notorious criminal is hiding out in a small, seaside town in rural Maine leads to an FBI agent going undercover in this new Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson, narrated by Eric G. Dove.  
    Grady Steel returns to the insular community of Deception Cove, Maine, where he spent his troubled youth unfairly labeled the town’s bad boy. Now a member of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, Grady is on a risky undercover mission, hunting one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives.  
    Recovering from a broken marriage, Brynn Webster comes home to the sleepy small town—where nothing ever happens—to help her parents run their seaside cafe during her mother’s illness. After diving into the frigid waters of the winter harbor to rescue a dead man, Brynn begins to realize that the ocean isn’t the only place swirling with dangerous undercurrents.  
    Grady befriends the pretty manager of the local cafe in an effort to unearth the town’s closely guarded secrets. Deceiving Brynn isn’t easy, though, especially when he starts to fall for her. Then, when decades-old crimes lead to modern-day murder, Grady’s mission becomes a race against time as he strives to catch a ruthless killer—before Brynn becomes the next victim.
