Paula Vega, whose survival plan for Atlanta's brutal summer heat is to complete her latest steamy romance novel, send it to her editor and camp out by the pool. Then her best friend, comic strip illustrator Ben Faraday, shows her a cryptic video staring his mother, Goldie, who also happens to be Paula's editor, and pool lounging is off the table. Instead, Paula and Ben drive to the North Carolina Mountains searching for a town on Lake Tuckahee where - after seventy years of being underwater - a mysterious island is rising and may reveal the truth about a relative who died from not-so-natural causes. But before Paula and Ben can discover what really happened so long ago, they find that asking questions can be a dangerous pastime.--back cover
