Jacobia �Jake� Tiptree abandoned Wall Street to its bankruptcies and bailouts for a far more rewarding life fixing up an 1823 Federal-style house in Eastport, Maine. But in Sarah Graves�s chilling new mystery thriller, Jake discovers that no matter what your address, the most terrifying crimes always hit closest to home.The infamous Dodd murders are hardly among Eastport�s proudest legacies. So when bestselling true-crime author Carolyn Rathbone arrives to research the case for a new book, the locals in the seaside town let her know that she�s about as welcome as a spoiled clam. But surely no one would harm a crime writer out of a sense of civic pride�or would they?Jake has her own problems, from the mysteries of old-house insulation to an anonymous caller plaguing her with death threats. But with Carolyn�s arrival, the slayings of the wealthy Dodd women suddenly go from cold case to hot topic�much to someone�s dismay. For Carolyn Rathbone�s untimely investigation hasn�t only reopened old wounds and stirred up new suspicions; it�s unearthed a string of deadly secrets�ones that a cunning killer is grimly determined to rebury right along with Carolyn herself.Suddenly Jake finds herself inescapably targeted by one of the most deranged criminal minds she�s ever encountered. For as much as she fights to insulate herself from his grisly compulsions, someone with a taste for terror has already crept closer than she dares to imagine. She�d rather die than lose the home and family she�s built�and that suits her nemesis fine, because her death is just exactly what he has planned.
