"Investigative reporter Rose Howard is exhausted from trying to manage her seemingly perfect life. With her marriage to the man she thought was her one true love collapsing, she desperately needs for one thing to go right. While striving for a promotion to senior reporter, her efforts are interrupted when she learns her former best friend and travel vlogger, Eve Castillo, isn't responding to attempts to contact her at the North Carolina cottage she's reviewing. Rose knows Eve can be flaky and irresponsible. And after Eve breaks the ultimate ethical friendship code and crosses boundaries to the point of no return, Rose wants nothing to do with her. Still, Rose heads to the tranquil small town of Sage Hill... Rose soon discovers that Eve has vanished without her purse and passport--even after booking a trip abroad. The personable cabin owners' accounts of Eve's stay just don't add up...and most of the town's initially hospitable inhabitants become increasingly less helpful... Rose's instincts tell her the solution lies somewhere in Eve's--and Sage Hill's--past. To get answers, she'll have to ask inconvenient questions, stumble onto shocking truths, and face vicious attempts on her life. But some truths are best left alone. And secrets Rose never saw coming could easily sink her, and her future, without a trace..."--Provided by publisher. 20250911. Women journalists Fiction. Investigative reporting Fiction.
