Publisher Description

The mysterious death of a local teen leads to a hunt for a killer in the sixth Widow's Island novella by #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh.

On Widow's Island, the secrets are dark…and everybody has one. So when Deputy Tessa Black responds to a call about an explosion in a quiet neighborhood, she gets more than she bargained for: the body of a teen who went missing weeks ago.

Until recently, Gavin was living in a reputable foster home. But now that he is found dead—Tessa can't help but wonder if sinister forces are at play. Who would want to hurt him, and why?

With the help of her partner, Park Ranger Logan Wilde, Tessa tries desperately to decipher what happened to Gavin before another life is cut short. Someone on Widow's Island knows the explosive truth. Will Tessa find the answers she needs before someone else turns up dead?
