-ABOUT THE BOOK: Galveston, 1947. A woman's body is discovered on the beach. No gun. No bullet. No footprints. No witnesses. The baffling murder soon goes cold.
But there was a witness. Thirteen-year-old Eva West had slipped outside while waiting for her father to finish work at the glamorous Buccaneer Hotel. In the darkness, she heard raised voices and saw people running near the beach. When a body appears in that exact spot the next morning, a terrified Eva tells no one what she saw.
Galveston, 2009. Sixty-two years later, Abby Fisher hopes a book of historic photographs will stir the fading memories of her seventy-five-year-old great-aunt Eva, now living with Alzheimer's. One photograph does far more than that. Eva begins uttering strange, fragmented phrases-words that lead Abby straight into Galveston's most famous unsolved murder. With the help of a colorful group of island regulars, Abby begins unraveling a mystery buried for more than half a century. But the closer they get to the truth, the more unsettling the case becomes. Because some secrets were meant to stay buried. And what happened on that beach in 1947 may have had nothing to do with Galveston at all.
