Description
Death in a Cold Hard Light by Francine Mathews A young athlete and Harvard scholar is found dead in the frigid waters of the Sound, just days before the annual Christmas celebration. The local police chief is concerned about a growing drug problem on the island, but the details of the case are being kept from the detective who is supposed to be helping. Feeling frustrated and unsure, Merry Folger rushes home to her fiancé, only to find that the problem on Nantucket goes far beyond heroin. As Merry tries to make sense of the case, she faces resistance from her own father, who is struggling to come to terms with the possibility that his daughter may not be able to live up to his expectations. With the body still in the Sound, Merry must navigate the complex web of relationships and secrets on the island to uncover the truth behind the young victim's death. A gripping mystery that explores the darker side of small-town life, Death in a Cold Hard Light is a tense and atmospheric read that will keep you guessing until the very end.
