A Body Washes Ashore

For the first time in his life, Tracey Lauch belongs somewhere.

He and his wife Charlotte-who knows nothing of what he really is-have built a life in Italy with a tight circle of friends. A group they met on a Spectrum river cruise while pulling away from the Eiffel Tower.

After their trip they invite one another into their homes. They share a murder mystery dinner in Milan, gather for a winter solstice party and dance around a bonfire on the beach. Their group of six-Tracey and Charlotte, Remy and her cousin Frannie, Fong and Lee-trust each other completely.

It's everything Tracey has wanted: connection, normalcy, a world where no one suspects the truth.

But Remy Martin, one of his new friends, bears scars.

Since college, she has lived by a set of relationship rules. Badly hurt, she's created a careful existence designed to keep her heart protected. She only sleeps with married men-no emotional entanglements, no messy consequences.

Until she breaks her biggest rule and takes things too far. Remy knows she's crossed a line she swore she never would-and now she's in too deep to walk away cleanly.

In the meantime, Tracey's darkness won't stay contained. His murders are getting sloppy. More personal. The version of himself he's built-husband, friend, philanthropist-is cracking.

Close friends. One affair. One killer they never suspect.

Ideal for readers who are hungry for morally complex characters-and the creeping dread that danger has been sitting across the dinner table all along.
