Conley Hawkins left her family's small town newspaper, the Silver Bay Beacon, years ago. When she accepts a new position in Washington, D.C., she discovers at her own going away party that it has gone up in smoke--along with her hopes and dreams of a bright future in a big city. Conley finds herself back working for her sister at the Beacon, and she's been assigned the local gossip column, "Hello, Summer." Then she witnesses a car accident that kills a local politician and former war hero with a shady past whose death may not be exactly what it seems, and the more she digs into the story, the more dangerous it gets.
