Jane Bunker has recently moved back to a sleepy Maine community, thinking that she's earned a nice respite from murder and intrigue. But old town secrets are revealed as Bunker's forays take her deeper and deeper to the dark underbelly of deceptively idyllic Green Haven, Maine.

Green Haven, Maine, is as far from the heat and violence of her past as Jane Bunker could hope for. When she trades in her career as a big-city homicide detective for a new job as a marine insurance investigator, Jane thinks that a fresh start in this sleepy seaside town will finally allow her the peace and quiet that she's been craving.

Jane Bunker thought she'd escaped the pollution, noise, and dead bodies of the big city when she left her job as a Miami homicide detective and moved back to the idyllic town of Green Haven, Maine. But through her work as a marine insurance investigator, it appears she's left behind the bustle of the city but not the murder. When Jane is called to the remote Acadia Island to assess the damages from a house fire, she also finds a badly burned body in the charred rubble.

Jane prefers to put in her hours working as an insurance investigator, and part-time as the deputy sheriff.

Instead, Jane takes on a missing person case - a young woman working at the Bar Harbor Inn has disappeared. When it becomes clear that Bianca isn’t just sleeping off a late-night party, Jane is plunged into the underbelly of the resort town, and must find the missing woman before the worst happens.
