Escaping a particularly sweltering August in Aleford, Massachusetts, minister's wife Faith Fairchild and her family drive to their favourite getaway, Sanpere Island. But aggressive real estate developer Harold Hapswell is threatening the peace on Sanpere. Tensions are high as the animosity between year-round islanders and holidaymakers reaches dangerous new levels. In an atmosphere thick with ill feeling, murder rears its ugly head. Then, while exploring the historic, abandoned lighthouse, Faith stumbles across the corpse of Harold Hapswell himself. His death is officially ruled an accident, but Faith's tried-and-tested instincts which tell her otherwise are confirmed soon enough by a string of murders. With fear running rampant throughout the island, faith knows she must track down the murderer - even if it means placing her own life in peril.
