Attending the opening of a new commercial center, Rhe Brewster, an ER nurse and police

investigator, and her husband Sam, chief of the Pequod police department, save the governor

of Maine from a sniper attack. They are assigned to a task force to find the sniper, at the same

time trying to identify the person who has stolen Rhe's personal data and is using it to run up

thousands of dollars in debt and even steal their home. Rhe treats a student from Pequod

University raped following a night at a local bar and soon discovers there is a serial rapist on the

loose. The threats to Rhe and Sam escalate as a sociopath from Rhe's past reemerges in a

strange twist. Are any of these perpetrators linked?

Maine's most tenacious sleuth is back, surrounded by the colorful characters who populate the

coastal town of Pequod. In this fifth installment of the Rhe Brewster Mysteries, Rhe's strength

and determination are tested to their limits while she tries to protect her unborn child.
