Book Synopsis

A tense small town mystery that packs a big punch starring Nora Best.

Nora Best is enjoying the quiet life . . . finally. She''s parked up the Airstream on a quiet stretch of beach and is now a seventh-grade teacher in a small peninsula town in the Pacific Northwest. Her biggest worry is keeping up with her quick-witted bunch of students. No drama. No danger. And most importantly - no one turning up dead.

Until they do, that is . . .

When a local environmental activist - and dad to one of her most troublesome students - is killed, Nora once again finds herself in the thick of an investigation that threatens her new-found peace. She soon uncovers that Ward''s death is most likely linked to the building of the school''s emergency tsunami tower - a project financed by Ward''s ex-wife''s new husband . . . and one that is testing the town''s loyalty.

With emotions, and gossip, running high, in a community where everyone knows everyone else''s
