Summary

When one woman is murdered and another vanishes, an investigation uncovers a wartime mystery—and a killer with unfinished business.

The Shanty pub is the heart of Seacastle—a place for laughter, friendship, and the occasional small-town drama. But when a woman is found dead outside, the town is left reeling—especially when the victim bears a striking resemblance to Joy Wells, the pub's co-owner, who hasn't returned from a trip to Budapest.

To the people of Seacastle, Joy and her husband, Ryan, are just the couple who run the pub. But Joy and Ryan have secret lives—and someone from their past may be back for revenge.

With Ryan growing desperate and the police getting nowhere, Tanya sets out to find Joy herself. Following a trail that leads from the Sussex coast to the streets of Budapest, she uncovers more questions than answers. What was Joy really doing abroad? Why did someone want her gone? And how far will they go to settle old scores?

But time is running out, and every step closer to the truth raises the stakes. Will Tanya find Joy before she disappears for good?
