O knihe

Six old college friends reunite during the island's annual Pirate Invasion Festival. One of the college friends, Kelly White, brings her husband, Raymond, to the reunion. Raymond White is a corrupt, narcissistic, high-ranking Department of Justice official who threatens to expose a deep, dark secret that the college friends have protected since spring break of their senior year of college. When Raymond White dies from a suspicious death, the friends must navigate an investigation conducted by local chief of police Walter Denton and FBI Agent Joshua Bolding. The investigation may end up exposing not only Raymond White's killer but the college friends' sixteen-year-old secret as well. Jed Cummins, a small-town defense lawyer and boyfriend of Sophie Simmons (one of the college friends), must use all his legal skills to protect Sophie and her friends from spending the rest of their lives in prison. Readers can identify with at least one of the well-developed characters, which makes the surprising ending even more shocking. In a story full of fascinating characters, Bald Head Island distinguishes itself as one of the protagonists of our story. The author uses the island's beauty, its landmarks, and its local shops as a perfect backdrop to this compelling story.
