DEAD RETURN
Detective Claire Hardy arrives in Garrett's Cove, Maine on routine follow-up of a thirty-year-old missing persons case. When she recognizes the missing woman, now calling herself Donna Marsh and running a bait shop, Claire begins a quiet investigation that reveals not a crime but a survival. Donna fled her father, Walter Pollard, in 1994 and has built a complete life under a new identity. When Claire discovers Walter's nature and learns he has been tipped off, she must choose between closing the case as solved and protecting the woman who was never actually missing.
When a routine cold case follow-up brings state detective Claire Hardy to a coastal Maine fishing town, she finds the missing woman exactly where she should not be: behind the counter of a bait shop, living under a different name, twenty-two years into a quiet life she built from nothing. She is not missing. She is hiding. Claire has to decide what that means for her report.
