A New York Times Bestselling Author -- Floral Beach wasn't much of a town: six streets long and three deep with a strip of sand fronting the Pacific. It was there, seventeen years ago, that the body of Jean Timberlake had been found. Bailey Fowler, the confessed killer, was convicted. A year after the murder, Fowler walked away from prison, never to be seen again. Then, by sheer fluke, the cops stumbled on Bailey and a case seventeen years dead came murderously to life.
