This is a latest Poppy Rich mystery. When the body of a young, pregnant woman washes ashore on a stretch of barren beach, Boston detective Rocky Patel writes to FBI agent Poppy Rice for help in identifying the Jane Doe. But the crime lab comes up empty, and not until a year and a half later does an anonymous tip reveal the woman to be the wayward daughter of a prominent political family. Just days before the ID, Poppy is asked to look into another case more than thirty years old. Then, a pregnant woman's corpse was found on the island of Inishmore. DNA testing soon confirms Poppy's gut feeling that the two drownings are somehow linked. Poppy sets out in search of truth and justice and instead finds herself ensnared in a web of political deceit, family intrigue and out-and-out bad guys.
