My name is Emma Brennan, and I never thought I’d find myself in this position—standing on a Cape Cod beach at sunrise, wondering which of my friends is a killer.

I came to the idyllic seaside town of Provincetown, to raise my young niece and rebuild my life. Eleven months ago, my sister vanished off the coast of Ocracoke Island. No body, no answers. Just a teenage daughter left behind.

At the same time, the man I thought I was going to marry cheated on me.

I joined the Tragic Wives’ Group—a tight-knit, cold-water swimming group full of secrets. One of us has been writing everything down.

Then she disappears . . . leaving only a pile of clothes on the sand.

She’s the second person I’ve lost in twelve months.
