Windermere doesn't forget. It just waits.

Twenty years ago, four teenagers buried something at the river's edge and swore never to speak of it again. Then Elias Monroe left town ? no warning, no explanation ? and the vow got easier to keep.

Now he's back. And so is what they buried.

Claire Bennett has spent her life defending a father the town never forgave. When Elias's return drags old evidence back into the light, the two of them are pulled into tunnels, sealed records, and a house that keeps its doors locked for a reason ? chasing a truth that could clear a dead man's name, or finish what started twenty years ago.

A complete standalone mystery ? and the first step into the Windermere Legacy Series, continued in The Legacy Continues.
