Description
Dark, gritty and addictive... this is Hannah Morrissey at her best' Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author
Temperatures and violent crimes have risen to all-time highs as a new drug ravages Black Harbor.
Sergeant Nikolai Kole discovers a body wrapped in garbage bags and doused in bleach in the back of a clubhouse. Tommy Greenlee, the ex-husband of Kole's former lover, Hazel, has been shot several times and left for dead. And the killer left what appears to be a calling card.
When Hazel returns to Black Harbor, she is back in the heated atmosphere of Kole's orbit. Their love affair can hardly pick up where it left off. They both used each other to their own ends before: would they do it again?
As they work together to solve this murder, they will not only unearth Black Harbor's deepest, darkest secrets - they'll each have to face their own.

About the Author
Hannah Morrissey is the USA Today Best Selling Author of the Black Harbor Suspense Series. A three-decade survivor of Wisconsin winters, Hannah enjoys putting her characters (and readers) in bone-chilling atmospheres that permeate beyond the page. Hannah was inspired to write her debut novel while transcribing reports for her local police department. Far from home in a grim, crime-ridden city, it was her job to sit in the dead of night, listen, and type as detectives divulged the city's darkest secrets. There, she realised that every case was a story, and every story started with the same two words: 'Hello, Transcriber.'
