Overview
It's July 1924. Sarah Cunningham is preparing for her first solo art show in Paris when she receives the telegrammed news of her sister Ada's unnatural death an ocean away--in Carmel, California. Sarah travels two weeks by ship and rail to attend the inquest, but arrives too late. The verdict is already in: death by suicide. Sarah is astonished--and not at all convinced--by this finding. Ada was headstrong, erratic, passionate, and sometimes cruel, but she was also loving and kind. She was also at the very peak of her painting career: her seascapes were selling as swiftly as they were painted, and she was about to exhibit a series of portraits that would bring her even wider recognition. Determined to investigate Ada's death, Sarah ingratiates herself with the seaside artist colony of Carmel. Through getting to know Ada's friends, her unusual assistant, and her untrustworthy art dealer, she begins to assemble the facts. From the posh Hotel del Monte to the windswept sands of Carmel Beach to Robinson Jeffers's Tor House to Point Lobos's Whalers Cove with its suspicious cargo landings and beyond, Sarah's hunt for the truth teaches her how many secrets sisters can keep from each other--and how far a killer will go to keep her from knowing the truth.
